wow, I'm amazed they fit (the 355 tires). I'm worried about buying another set of 335's and them rubbing. I already cracked one of my fender lips. Anyhow, that is awesome. It looks great slammed!

They are not a bolt on. I will have pic soon of what it takes or you could widen the flare about inch or so.

Let's see some pics? Post up. The mold was a total PIA to make. I think I just about broke even on this one. This was much more than I estimated it to be. Maybe there are some people doing the same mod that need this box too! Anyway we were glad to be part of this monster project. Your car is awesome

Looks awesome! You should consider getting a few of these made in fiberglass and seeing if anyone might be interested in a "group buy".

Make a "kit" out of just this combination for the forum members!

Pat-

Not to take away from the OP, but since we've got a nice example of this item (pictures) can you possibly post some prices for the members? thanks!

We would need to know what size intercooler this would also us to use, if we can retain the AC, and the plumbing details (to/from) the intercooler!
