Not half as bad as she will when I guilt her into Tiger Shark rear and and flared fenders, just have to get her before the shock wears off.

Bummer - but, it can be fixed! With the flared fenders comes new wheels/tires.. OH and let's not forget the performance mods needed in the engine area to support the need for wider wheels/tires,etc...

I would be willing to say you can find a body shop that will do it using the TS and nice flairs for the same as stock and the insurance will pay.
