Agreed, but if it NEEDS those tires that the fenders are flared for...

I like the lip. I'm not 100% a fan of the rear fenders. Will you fill it out? Will you make the power to spin the large tires?

Looks pretty good. Im not a big fan of widebodies, but im glad to see another GTUs in good shape. You need some more pics of it from different angles, cant really tell how it looks because its black.

+1 to all.

If/when you do make the power to spin awesomely wide wheels, I will love your car. For now, I think it's really really nice. Keep up the good work!

I'm gonna bite. I don't like it .....

Maybe if you had some nice rims and tires, and it was lowered..

It looks like a monster truck :\ And I'm not a fan of those rear fenders....at all...

Nice paint work though.

what size are the wide fenders you have on your car? I was thinking 30mm would look good but is that 50mm you have on? Why did you only do the rears?

well the car actually got " totaled" in a accident, and they didn't give me enough to fix it the right way, so this was my only option,
it was either this or the scrapyard, and I will NOT do that to a 90 GTUs,

the car just got done,
pls blv wheels and coilovers are on the way.
