I just ordered a Cusco 5point roll bar with harness bar, APR custom 1 off Splitter for my Amuse GT1 style bumper, APR GT300 wing, and 2 black G-FORCE 5 point cam lock harness for my bride seats.

Well I saw Mad Max Fury road this weekend and got inspired. No turning back now.
So basically what I did was just roll the fender in again. After seeing most people fold it out onto the outside of the quarter panel I figured it would look cleaner it I rolled it into the fender well. Also by doing it this way I retained all of the factory spot welds and minimized the places water could get in. The grey goop is seam sealer to fill in any of the spots that were exposed by the cuts. It looks ugly now but once it has a few days to fully cure I will sand it and put some undercoating on it so it should look pretty good.
The other project I tackled was trimming the overfenders and figured I would take pics to show the difference. Left is shaved right is how they come from ASM.
Both done.
Who needs rivets tape is good enough right?
So still waiting on the bumper extensions before I cut the rear bumper some. I cannot just pull it out to line up with the overfenders since the frp ings bumper isn't as flexible as the oem bumper pulling it out doesn't look right. As soon as I get those I will get everything to the paint shop and finally be able to drive this thing again! Sadly refinishing the wheels will have to wait as one of the 2 powders I need is on back order with no ETA. Always something.
