That rear shot looks awesome Ken! You wouldn't happen to know the offsets/width on this car, would you? They look like 18's?

LOL. We were driving fast and filming, but obviously the Highway Patrol officer thought we were racin'. They let us off easy with a no front license plate fixing ticket. Phewww! That was a close one.

Car looks beautiful, very clean and stylish and blends like OEM. Why did you go with 19's? Looks I would suppose but isn't it a harsher ride?
Car looks great. I'm thinking about going the same route with the Feed style fronts and pulled rear.
How much would you say he pulled the rears? 15mms?
And you mentioned trimmed Feed style front fenders. Did you reduce how much wider they make the front?
And could you make the Feed front fenders in CF?

Before I put my rear overfenders on I tried on one side to get a flare like yours. I got pretty close by starting with a fender roller, some pulling, a bit of baseball bat (ghetto but efficient), then some more roller to smooth it out.
Came out really well, took me id say about 4 hours, mostly because I started by trying not to crack the paint with a heat gun. Then once I got into it I realized with this kind of pulling there was no avoiding some cracking.
Id say I could have fit my front rims (18x10 -7) no problem in the rear with the flare I created.

Project D1... more pics... from the side.. I'm getting my meisters widened to 11" in the rear +10 and trying to do everything I can to stay away from a wide kit.. I'm looking at the 20mm wide shine front fenders..
