Thanks Joe, I appreciate that. This wheel widening/flaring project started as a concept about 2 years ago and it feels great to finally see my ideas realized in material form.

Joe, just give me a ring or PM me when the time comes for paint and I'll set you up. I'd rather keep the shop's info private at this time.

 

My compliments for your project and even to your body shop guys over all things turned out really great.

 

Wow, almost looks like it could come from the factory like that.

A+

Does the gas door still open?

 

Your rear fenders look a littly bubbly, I would of thought it would of come out a little more stock looking:

Example:



Instead of:


Looks like it was done professionally, and I like the fact you used sheet metal work. How much did the rear labor run you? Just the rear if possible.

Man that looks great!!!! Now get some interior in that beast and you will be kickin!

 

Looks Fantastic!

Love this pic!

 

are the front wheels wider too?

looks great

 

I'm not sure that I agree that adding sharp edges to a round car makes it look stock? I had the burnout kit and decided not to use it because it killed the OEM flow of the car. Not to mention that I did not want to screw with fiberglass flares; One touch of the tire and the flares will go sailing. The flares on this car are formed from sheet metal welded to the car.

 

Yes, the front are wrapped with 275s ;o)

Thanks for the complements everyone. You're getting me reamped for this project.

 

nice! But you are still a punk for making us wait so long.

 

The new colour looks great~ makes the 7 look even more like a new car than it already did~

I think the bodyshop did a good job too~ everything looks so smooth, nothing looks like it is added on as an "after thought"

 

Try waiting 6 months ;o)

 

absolutely amazing
not to mention the fact that its all metal work and no bondo garbage

love the wheels

very clean car, and glad to see you chose the 96-98 spoiler and not the 99spec. looks clean, yet different as far as spoilers on FDs go.
I prefer spoilerless and think the 99spec is too big even though it is functional


cant wait to see this car finished! it will be top notch and an example to all

It functions like it came this way from the factory ;o)

 

I got bored and thought I'd do a quick photoshop job to lower the car a tad and make the rear reflector red... It's not the best, but you get the idea:

 

ha ha lol

 

good work charlie Hows next week looking for you...think its time to mount the new wheels!

 

Awesome pics (including the photoshopped one) I absolutely love those rear fender flares. Looks great, keep it up.

 

impressive work Charlie

 

Thanks. It's not bad, but the front wheel is pretty tucked haha... make sure to post a whole slew of pics when you get her all together. I'll have to come down to VA and check it out in person!

 

did you wrap all the interor to? In your pics it look like you used black micro suade.

 

that's a negative on the interior. It's a regular used, black 93 interior minus the later model seats and the brand new, 0-mile odometer (yes it's legal as long as you report it).

-I'm looking for the 94 A/C panel and center console so I can switch to a textured interior. I will pay top dollar to the person who can make this happen for me ;o)

FYI: I forgot to give credit to Peter Hahn for sparking the metal work idea in place of the vulnerable fiberglass flares; he was definitely the master mind behind that idea. Thanks Peter.

So then I take its just a really dusty interior.

 

lol. yes it is, that's body shops for ya ;o) The bins are all that's installed at this point and those are likely getting swapped for a more mint set.
