nice..

now you might wanna take apart your TYCs, dry 'em out, and seal em up good so they dont fog up.. just use some clear silicone you can buy at.. autozone.. wal mart... etc...

some dumb *** hit my car in the front those these fenders were a cheap solution but now its time to get rid of them. im going to get the fenders cut and have fender flares molded. as of now the rim width is 7.5in although i would like to put 8in but im all tapped out. and yes they do rub but all i need to do is insert rubber spacers in the rear springs this would be cheap fix for now. bought the conversion on ebay for 1100 shipped.

new 18's 1200.00
type s tie rods 84.00
type r axles 250.00
axle conversion 120.00
custom exhaust 300.00

You should start selling these to people. Take orders for them, then have someone paypal you the money for the parts/ labor and you send em back in a week/2. I'd bet you'd make money off it
