Re: progress pic

What did you cut? And what were you wanting to fit? I couldn't tell from the picture what you are talking about.

Re: progress pic

Simple When fitting new fenders, you have to cut off about the bottom four inches or of the fenders. So that they will fit over the ASC installed sfc's.

That and the ground effects you have to chop off the lip on the bottom part of the ground effect to clear the sfc again.

Re: progress pic

Ahh yea I forgot about that shenanigans. I'm hoping that I can pull all the dents out of my body panels instead of replacing them.
