I keep forgetting to post these. I got my front fenders back from the shop last week. He said he will do more of these if people want, just PM me for info. He has a shop where he rebuilds race cars and classics, and he does AMAZING work with metal. It's unreal.

I got them done with a lip like the rears. They are going to redo my rear lips too. I'm going to get these painted soon and I'll post up new pics of the whole car. I still have to lower the front some more too. I had them put the lips a little higher than where the stock fenders meet the tire because the front has been sitting a little higher than the rear since my rear fenders moved up as it pulled out. Not sure if that makes sense.

Agreed! This is something I doubt I'd ever get accomplished, but looks SIK so far/I'd love to get a better visual.

Thanks, but it was taken by a professional photographer. There's a website that you can look up your license plate number and see if there's any shots of your car on the ring.

Also, I no longer have that spoiler. Will post pictures soon

Cool, I've been wondering how that worked for awhile.. (the great pics of cars on legit tracks, in general). Looking forward to the updated pics.

Some shots of my car with scrub's car on the NJ side of Manhattan. No lighting equipment or reflectors, just quick snaps when we were leaving Bridgeported12A's place. Car is dirty as hell and the photos aren't really retouched (just minor raw adjustments & cropping)...

^ This front end look much better than the old one IMO, I like that hood and am thinking about picking one up from a local, how's the fitment on it?

OriginalFake2: I want the red RX-7 emblem, look real nice on a black FD!
