Would love to re spray space grey but to much work involved to do it properly. Not really a big fan of wraps either. However I love jet black too.

Thanks man, I'm building this to be one of a kind. To get a 295 to not rub up front is a pain but after countless hours of cutting, grinding, and shaping it worked and was rub free. The rear is no issue but where the front tire turns every part of the front had to be modified in someway to allow for more tire. Hoping to be the only one in the world for a while.

Woah haha, why a 295 up front?
What size in the rear again?
I dont think I would run more then 275 up front even if I end up with a 11.5 inch rim up front..
I plan on 14.5" rims in the back and will run a 305 stretched.

Because 295 square setup on 18x10.5 for the track... I'm running a 275/315 setup for the street. Probably won't go any wider in the rear. Possibly might do a 325 in the rear if I ever run 19'' wheels but I like the meaty tire look of 18'' wheels and tires.

Do a lot of people run that big of a square setup? I thought square meaty tires was more for awd? but I don't know much about timed/track/race setups.

These cars tend to under steer pretty bad when pushed hard, so going to a square setup allows for a lot more grip on the front end. I'm still fully convinced that this car will be faster with a square setup but I've still got to try a few different setups before I will know for sure.

You took on a challenge doing this with a sedan, not much area to work with after the rear doors. Looking forward to the final results.

Yea, it wasn't too bad. I love the looks of a 4 door wide body because there is less room to blend the curves so they end up being more aggressive. And I wanted everything to turn out OEM looking. I would love for this car to blend in with everything else on the road and not stick out much.

[MrSlickk]

Looks great either way. Cant wait to see it completed with wheels and everything!

looks good !

[boostedbusa]

Now I'm jealous lol. I'm doing a "liberty walk" style widebody on my e90. Nothing as crazy as this but will still be a lot of cutting and glass work on the rear flares. Very impressed man. Any chance of seeing a side angle shot?

Side angle shot? Like the first picture in the thread?

[boostedbusa]

Sorry I should have been more clear. My bad. Front side angle so I can see the body lines and how the rear lines up and a straight on side shot. Sorry again. Was typing in a hurry....I promise at the time it made sense as I was typing lol

Lol, no worries man and I don't have any of those shots yet... Car hasn't left the garage other then a test drive to check for rubbing in months so I really don't take pictures when its outside. Next time I have it out I will take a few and post them up though.
