Wheels are temporary :P

i drilled holes on the the bottom instead of the top and used the stock hardware

shine love your work on your kits. keep up the good work

do the rears add clearence or just for looks? are u suppose to cut/ roll the rear?

Did you guys ever rework the mold for the front bumper to fix the flaring on the passenger side?

thought id fire up a nice pic of them on my FD. love these fenders!

Just ordered the kit. Thanks Ken!

Can you guys tell me how you put the rear fenders on? Just did a huge pull or cut out that piece? Riveted on or...other? Appreciate the help guys.

I haven't cut my stockers out yet but to attach it my guy used panel-bond (also used it to reinforce the flares too)

So are you still running the stock wheels? Wouldn't it be harder to cut out since you already have it covered..? How's the epoxy held up so far? finished pics?

running 19x10 +20 with 275's on the back.
the panel bond is tough as nails....it's not going anywhere or cracking.

yum

Thanks ! Appreciate it. Mine should be here by the end of the week!

KaoticFdR1 more pictures please

wheels aside, your car is officially one of my favorite FDs ever :D

Has anyone tried this diffuser yet on the burnout rear bumper? Would love to see this, interested in it for my own car...

sooo....how do you change the light bulbs?

I modified the hatch so that I could access them from the inside...
Rocket science, I know...

So I am finally having the rear flares molded and was curious if anyone has put a wheel like 18x10.5 with ~22 offset in without cutting the rear fenders?

I am trying to figure out if I need to cut away before molding the rear fenders on...

What has everyone else done?

Use this calculator and see where your wheels will land vs stock wheels which are 8" and +50 offset.

For the rear my Works are 11" with +33 offset and they extend 55mm more than stock wheels which are pretty flush with the burnout fender. My track set Enkei's are 10" with +22 in the rear and extend 53mm more than stock wheels.

Hopefully you meant +22 and not -22.

And yes, we cut the quarter panel open and filled in the gap...then molded the panel on.

this is the first high end body kit ive ever bought. Ken you do an awesome job and im looking forward to the front bumper.


heres my molded in rears. find it odd some of you guys are putting overfenders on and not cutting up the stock fender.


at any point. heres mine. 10.5 +7 265/35. i wanted to fit them with a bigger tire, but thats what I had laying around. cut the fender and tested the wheel all the way till it hits the upper frame of the wheel well

^those are the wheels i've been trying to save up for for the longest time.

Has anyone had clearance issues for street driving with the sideskirts in Gemma's pictures? Also, how do the sideskirts tend to hold up? I'm really hesitant to got fiberglass sideskirts. I feel like if I drive over a big enough speed bump and I'm moving at a decent speed, that the whole thing will shatter.

thought i would share pics of my shine burnout front end:

Found a good deal on some RPF1's but I think the offset may be a bit aggressive. They are:

Rear: 18x10.5 +15
Front: 18x9.5 +15

Has anyone tried anything similar? If so, what size tire and have you had rubbing issues?

Thanks for any info!

omg I want..... damn I just dished out like $3k on just maintenance stuff. If I'da found this thread sooner.. sacrifices would've been made.. lol

Til' the next tax return then.:(
