Well I finally found a shop willing to do the work I need done, but I may still change my mind on using them or not. I'm currently just working on different ways that using the J's fender with the stock bumper and lip would actually work, and I've come to only one way being possible. The J's fender piece that attaches to the bumper would have to be modified to work the factory lip(thats the easy part), but the factory lip will also have to be modified to fit around the fender piece.

For now I took two photos that were taken at the exact same angle, height, etc, and combined them to give the shop an idea of what I'm going for...here's what I have so far as the only way I see this working.

I made it an animation so you can literally see the changes...give it a sec to start up.

what do you guys think? I took a stock S, and found a pic of a NFR S with the J's kit on and combined them.....then I started modifying the image to work together. I'm hoping to get the parts, finalize my choice on the shop, and get this done by the end of the year along with some other custom body mods.

Nice animation! It looks pretty sick with the extentions.

I'm hoping it can be made to look just as good in real life.

With a good body shop I'm sure you can make this work, but if you're talking with simply bolting it on and shaving a little area it's going to be really hard to fit it onto an ap2 bumper/lip.

It's much easier to make it fit on an ap1 bumper though.

the side covers will be on as well, but I will also be having those re done at the same time. Going to mold it in with the fender and get rid of the vent....want to keep it OEM like....no clue if I can get the bottom curve made like the OEM fender but I will try...
