Hi so far I have lowered the car and have the driver side flair done and ready for some filler I plane on making a wide body style body kit for it and a rear spoiler as well the rims are from a honda civic kit that I got from a friend a few years ago I'm also thinking of doing some kind of hood scoop

It looks like you are off to a great start. What exactly are you making the wheel flair's out of, if you don't mind me asking. I really like this and the direction that you are going in. Thank you.

Thank you i took a look at some pictures online for a good reference then drew it out on the body and took a hobby saw and cut a few lines on it and just carfully pulled it out on the outside of the wheel well if a piece comes off just glue it back on ware it looks good with the rest of the flair

What a great way to customise the wheel fenders, question, what did you do to the suspension to lower the stance,I am having problems with this part of the builds that I do.

First I mock up part of the factory suspension to see how high it is then I take a see thru bendable that I shaved the ends down to the first line and see how much I can take out and Mark it on the parts for most of the rear I cut I cut the springs and then on the front I usually shave the mounting points then for another kit that I lowers a 49 mercury I had to cut the inner wheel well then on others you may have to make your own parts for

I was going back and forth with the style of the rims I found a set for a Acura kit but then I wanted deeper so I took the rim and cut the face of it off with the hobby saw and glued the face to the back of the rim it also give the illusion of a wider wheel
