They are shaving the gas door and relocating the gas filler neck. Marinetex is being used to adhese everything. That **** is like concrete, I'll have to take a sledge hammer to knock those 1/4 panels if I ever want them off.
when you put the rear 1/4 panels on, are you doing any cutting or modifying to your stock rear 1/4 panel, or just laying the new panel over the stock one? I would think that you would have to cut the stock body if you wanted to utilize the extra width of the new fender... i'm interested into what you're doing with that rear 1/4 panel, could you explain it?

What can I say. . . Lookin awesome
Got any pics of this car.....ironically enough, I also am running the N1 front, Feed fenders, Feed sideskirts, but a Scoot hood, flush mount lights, and also White....I would like to see some pics of your car if you have them available. My car is going into the paint booth in the next few weeks, and it would be cool to have an idea of what I am going for when it gets out. I am running Volk GT-C's on mine....Weld's are for pussies.

Oh...and I have the canards ordered as of now....and hopefully this summer I will be adding the front undersweep and Pro Diffuser.

Thanks in advance-
Most large boating supply stores have it.

Marinetex?? I need to tell that to my friend.. One of these days, I'm going to go wide and definitely need to consider using that stuff. Also, does it have any flex to that, Marinetex stuff?? Is it hard solid when dried??

No flex what so ever. It's hard as a rock and won't crack. You'll have to use a chisel to remove it.

The marinetex cost me about $120 to glue both quarters down. Here is a picture of it.
