Corksport fenders, the wheels are not nearly wide enough for that body kit or those fenders. Otherwise, nice build.

Did you have a hard time with the fenders? I've heard of people having a hard time with them.

Car looks great!!

Did you put the panels on the car then painted it? Or did you paint the panels then put them on the car?

An amazing looking car! I saw it in the latest RX Tuner. I want mine to look like that, but a 10AE with EastBear lights, and a widebody.

Seriously, though. . .great job!

THANKS A LOT EVEYRBODY!!!

Yes those are cork sport fenders and Yes they were a huge pain in the *** to get to fit right!

The rims COULDNT be any latger because as it is night now I only have about 3/4 of an inch clearance before my tires rub. Im running 255/35 on all 4 corners. The only reason I dont rub is due to how stiff the Tein Type Flex kit is.

The GP Sort front and back bumpers are full replacments and WOW the quality it outstanding

And as for the painting of it.... All the new body parts were first put on for proper fitment then every single part of the car was taken off then repainted and put back on.

Is the GP sports full urethane, fiberglass, or a combination?

nice car i like it.

One suggestion, instead of the red in the engine bay, chrome it out. Too much red going on, need a contrast of colours
