After looking through several pics of cars with "pulled" fenders I found the ones I liked. The body guy nailed them. The pics look like it is closer than it is. They strapped the car to the floor and pulled it down further than it will ever go and everything clears. 8's out back now. 7's in front. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The car should be taken down, primered and blocked out over the next week or so and then a fresh coat of yellow.

I'm glad to see you having it done right by professionals. Some of us however... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) That will look great when done.

Look at all that grime behind the bumper ... shame Wills ... shame, shame, shame

Now you will just go slower with your fat a$$ due to wind resistance.

Nice job ... Elleyut should take notice.

Right, we are. The picture was for visual comparison of the front apron plug hole size to the bumper shock hole size. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Your body shop guy did a great job. Was this all done by pulling the fender out or was there any additional metal welded in? This is exactly what I want to have done on my car. I'm getting ready to do a 5 lug conversion on my car. I want to get this done first so I can have the fenders pulled before getting my car painted. I have a set of 7" Cookie Cutter wheels with the 911 offset that will be going on my car. The idea of putting 8" on the rear is very appealing.
