Default A present came for me today!!!

I got a present delivered today!



L5 Fender Flares!!!!! I am really anxious to take these to the body shop and get these things mounted up and painted. The quality looks pretty good to me, but I will leave the real inspection for my body guy. I will show some progress pics in a week or two!

Those'r gonna look great! IMHO fender flares are maybe the most enhancing mod you can do. Actually, I wonder why Chevy doesn't flare them more to begin with. Can't wait to see the before and after shots!

Here is a quick update, with some photos. My guy says there a some little issues here and there, but nothing too bad. He has to do a couple more adjustments to make him happy, and they will be ready for paint soon. I should have more pics soon.

Heh, that statement could really open a can of worms ! But I will admit Rick, that is one awesome looking car you have. It's like my car's big brother... The flared fenders + the built in spoiler looks amazing from the back. Really, really love your car.

They did have the rear bumper on, and said the gaps were good. They took it off, though, before they took any of the pictures. I should have better pics sometime this week. Thanks.
