how about a rear fender? any plan for that to be wider?

 

I'm quickly running out of JDM parts haha! Seriously.... I have a Gatorade bottle under my hood

I haven't had a Yuengling in at least 5 years or so

 

gatorade catch can ftw

 

No Yuengling?!? I'm not a huge beer drinker but it's one of the few that I really like.


No plans to do anything to the rears b/c I don't need any more clearance out back. What I've got done in the rear works just fine

 

Well my fender project has been wrapped up and done. I dropped the car off last week before going on vacation and picked it up on Monday morning. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. While the body shop had the car I also had them respray most of the driver side to fix my paint that didn't match from when it got repaired after my accident in January. I think I'm almost happier than my car is all one shade of silver than having fenders that came out good.

I didn't really take many pictures since the last update. Not much changed in the way that they looked except for them being refined just a little. I actually ended up getting them about 99% of where I wanted them to be a let the body shop do the rest. They were close enough to perfect that they didn't charge me to do a small amount of smoothing out.

This is the last pic with primer on the fenders before I dropped it off.



Fenders done! I'm 100% happy with how they turned out. I've learned a whole lot in this process and although I feel like I could achieve these same results in far less time I'm still not so sure I want to do it again. Please excuse the Blackberry pics. can't find my camera












Now I'm just waiting on some nice weather so I can clean the car and get some pictures.

I also worked on this in the middle of doing my fenders.

 

I want my fenders like this so bad, but I will not risk doing it myself. I've been hunting a shop in the Charlotte, NC area that is good enough to do it, but not much luck so far

 

yeah I think the biggest problem most people have is finding a shop they feel confident in and a shop that feels confident they can do it as well. I think this is why most of us have just decided to do it ourselves...well that and to save money. Save money was probably the biggest reason I did it myself. Great learning experience but a lot of hard work.

 

looks soooo good!!!
love the cage too

 

I don't know if I like how the body line fades out. Kinda like it with it.

 

nice work!

Will you be at the east coast honda meet? I hope so, Cause I wanna see these in person!
