It's hard to tell, but did you trim the inner piece above the wheel on the fenders?

Do you mean the fender liner? If so no. There is a gap though inside the wheel well from the fender to the liner, I wonder if people use c6 z fender liners to close that gap. Or maybe they don't bolt up.

Just so were on the same page, I'm referring to the arch on the inner part of the fender above the wheel, where it comes in and acts as the liner extension. My fenders are at the body shop getting prepped and I'm debating weather I should get that piece trimmed off for better clearance.

Fenders look good, now throw a set of rims and some fat rubber on there, and it will look mean

After I added the wheel adapter, I decided to cut mine off. It was about 3/4" lower than the wheel well. On his it does look like he cut it off too, but like you said it's hard to tell on those pics. Hopefully in a week I will post the build.

Thanks for the reply. I'm heading to the body shop today, and will let them know to cut off that piece as well. Post up your build when you get a chance. On another note, I just ordered a set of 2 inch hubcentric adapters...can't wait to see how everything will look once completed!

Looks great! And I am wondering the same. For a temporary fix until wider wheels, is 2" what seems to work for the rear if it is stock rear width wheels?

Thanks!

l5 fenders you get a piece one for each side a 3 inch strip made just like the liner to pot ribet them in place. Robert
