Car looks great! Thanks for taking the time to share the process.

Thanks guys, paint was 700 for the wide fenders. Another 800 to paint the bumper, halo, and adjust the hood.

Looks great Nick. I'm glad the fenders worked out for you. TPE's are a rare find used. Can't wait to see the C7 Carbon candy your going to install on that sweet ride. Maybe a new front splitter or side skirts.��

Thanks a lot rob, I owe you a 6 pack for putting me in touch with Rick for the tpe fenders! Extremely greatful for your help. Next on the list is a c7carbon vented splitter, zr1 side skirts and extended race edition spoiler.

That's pretty darn cheap. Wish I could find a place to do them for so little. Car looks awesome!

Looking great I must say. Be cool to see all that carbon on it now. I also see you took it to Classic Gold. They're the only ones that have touched my car since I've owned it. Did you happen to notice the Napa sign in their front window? That's my car they used for the ad.

Thanks, classic gold did an excellent job. About every shop I called had no idea how to quote wide fenders. Will keep an eye out for your car on their window next time I'm back.

As for the carbon fiber expecting some trouble with the front splitter. Talked to neutron and he said when installing his it hit his intercooler in the middle section of the spoiler. He thought the middle of the splitter needed to be ground down just a little bit to fit but can't confirm because he hasn't got around to it. I've learned NEW normally stands for needs extra work when dealing with aftermarket car parts. The side skirts and spoiler haven't shipped yet, hoping those are straight forward. Will document the process either way and post results as they come in. Going to be a minute before working the spoiler, spent all weekend building two work benches and am gassed.
