[A to Z]

The only cutting that should be required is above each wheel well to get the proper fitment of the Rocket Bunny kit and the correctly sized wheels and tires.

Haha yeah I wish I had Rocket Bunny kit money… even if I did have those funds I would probably just buy a bunch more metal fab tools and make my own metal body kit. I’m a fan of the sleeper look which is why I’m just going with some Marugen Shoukai ZG flares. I made sure to get the thick fiberglass version.

 

Edit:

I may even skip the fender flares if I can fit 245/40r17 wheels under the original fenders.

Wow it’s been over a year since my last post on here. Again the insane time toll that work is taking on me, mixed with some family and personal health the past year has really made it hard to get much done on the car. Boy turning 30 hits hard doesn’t it.

 

I also reached a point where I realized I just need to build a rotisserie because 15min doing any work on the floor pans these days has me walking like a 80yr old the next day.

 

I have decided that I am going to bite the bullet on a ZTrix Subtle Z body kit because I like the stock body style more than flares, and want to be able to have room for a good set of 245 rims and tires. This should also speed up some the body work I dreaded most which was going to be trying to get the rear quarters looking good without buying full replacement panels, and my car has genuinely never been in good enough shape to be worthy of keeping the original body metal.
