Did the fenders come with everything (chicklet, brake scoop and mud flap attached??)...seems odd to have those there before you painted...the conversion is going to look great when you get done. There's something about a convertible with the wide body --- you just KNOW that they went to the extra effort, as with a coupe you always need to look closely to see what's up.

It looks great like that, forget the paint (j/k). Good luck with the project.

yes it had that stuff attached. i just mounted it after i cut the quarter to fit. im not painting myself im only doing the work to mount up everything. total cost so far minus the rims 2500.00. that includes all body panels. the only thing i need is the front spoiler which i might go zr-1 or might carbon finish a stock one. painting is gonna be 2000.00 flat. and my bodyman does ferraris so you know its gonna be right!!!
thanks

Looks like you've got all the basic colors covered

I'm guessing you're going to go with red since the inside of the headlights are red.

Looking good, quite a project to take on by yourself, takes some talent for sure.

Its going to look GREAT!!!but if it were me after a color match is obtained,I would have all the panels removed that need color and paint off the car for a factory look.That is how most of the members performed their wide body conversions.
