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

Congrats on beggining the project! Your really going to get the pucker effect when your see you much you flex the fenders with a Eastwood roller. My fronts have a 25mm-30mm pull with a flare.

Thanks for all the kind words 
I've wanted to do for about as long as I had the car.
I agree a little bit on how the line fades out. Getting that to look clean is the hardest part of doing the fenders by a longshot. I think most people don't like it as much without the line because the rear still has the line. I'm very happy with how it turned out though. In the end it was worth all of the hard work. I actually want to find an extra fender that I can play around with and try to do something similar to how the fenders on Diez's car were done.
I will be at the east coast honda meet so you can see the car there. I'll most likely be setup next to the dressupbolts.com demo car. Shouldn't be too hard to find and you can check out some of their bolts in person. My car has the gold engine/engine bay kit and then some.

I know this thread is old but I just wanted to bookmark it for future reference and say that after seeing these fenders in person last year at the ECHM and now that I own an S myself I really appreciate the work that went in to them!
