even tho i will 100% be using rear over-fenders, i still want to leave the arches in good nick that if i ever decide to take them off i can go back and run with a rolled arch :) so hoping i can get the arches looking like this and leaving it tight to 30mm overs,

i wont be able to get the turn down in the flare, but ill leave it in a way that i will be able to later on if i want.
also loved the shape of the vents on the Wings i bought, so incase i cant find wings with similar vents i made a quick FGR copy ;)
rub some tin foil on the wing

start laying some fibreglass onto the foil

couple of layers to give it some strength

the let it set and pull it off :)

its rough so if i need it ill obvyousley build up the layers, slap on some filler and smoth her up :)
might not use or need it but its practise incase i ever need to do something similar:P
Just sorted these out about 5 min ago :)

3" Lips, meaning i have chickened out putting the 10.5 up front and have decided to promote them to the rears, :ghey:
running the 3" up front means i have the little extra bit of comfort and hopefuly ill get the +30mm Front Wings i like and they will fit snug under them :)
Just bought them in the states so hopefuly Next week they will be here :)
also bought a D-max boot lid spoiler aswell :)should be here next week also :) haven't quite decided if i shall fit it or not, but its nice to have if i get the Urge ;)
and I got news my other set of wheels Have finnaly arrive from Japan :) so paid the Balance and getting them posted up Monday, sadly not for the s15, planning on getting a s14a in the next few weeks and they will look awesome on it, Same as what i have already Veilside's 18x11 -30, 18x10 -18
:notworthy:notworthy:smitten:

the pic of your 11j -34 isnt working for me =[
to get the rear arches that flared you will need filler!! as you will kink the quarter and crack the paint with that much of a pull!
i wanna see the new wheels for the s14 !!!!!
great work!! will be keeping an eye on this:)
beautiful car lad, love the wheels..
You wasted your time cleaning them bolts!
I had the same problem as you and cleaned a few bolts but was unhappy so ordered new ones, the ones I cleaned were as bad a few weeks later.
Maybe try a clear paint on the bolts to protect them
hmm, i have metal polish on them, i thought a quick wipe with a cloth with some on it once a month will keep them in shape, seen alot of info on Wheel-whores that that will be enough but if thats the case i could probably order some now before i put them all back together?Quote:

I had 30 bolts per wheel and 6 wheels so wasn't to keen on cleaning them anyway!
Took a pic the last day for ya
(New one, Cleaned and wire brushed old one, old one)
