Default L5 fenders progress

Been doing the body work on my L5 fenders, also just installed Baer +2 rear rotors. Scroll to bottom of these pics. I added the final pics of it all done.

Looking good Jack! What's that hole behind the wheel for?

I also ditched the antenna and will run an internal one for as often as I use AM/FM which is - never.

I should have done the hidden antenna also. was a pain to drill the hole and enlarge it in the right location. I like the look of the marker lights on mine.

The rears are 19x11.5 with a 325x30x19 tire. I didnt want to spend another 1500 on wider rims and another 1000 for wider tires. I used a 1" thick hubcentric adapter to move them 1" out

Great job, went and looked at mine today. Just waiting on a Carravagio spoiler so I can paint all at once. Sometime in a week or two, look forward to seeing your finished product. I know what you mean about the $$$ for the wheels and tires. I went with 20x13 w/ 4 1/2 inch lip in the rear, not knowing the expense of the tires. Oh well! L8R THE FLASH
