It looks great...but my concern would be what happens if you hit a small pothole at a fairly good clip? Seems to me that you risk driving the tire up and into the fender...and that would most likely damage your fender (fiberglass cracks are not easy to repair).

I hope it all works out for you!

I have a feeling that in the near future, you're going to be posting about the small cone/can in the middle of the road that you just smashed into ruining your front end! If you drive on the streets, that set up will never ever work around here in NJ.

Do a couple of searches on this topic. I wish you all the luck possible!

You're going to need it

Boy, the Streets of NJ must be tough!! Here in the Frozen North (CT) the roads are smooth, clean and free of road debris, hubris, flotsam and jetsam. In 5 months and 8000 miles, the only thing I've hit are insects.

My baby is going even l-o-w-e-r.
