nice worok with the fenders...they look good

I thought for sure somebody would help you find those pictures by now. I know there are some on this site too. Just couldn't find them.

Well, thanks for you help anyway Eric!

Sure. No problem, but now it's a thing with me. I have to find them. I can't just give up.

If I ever come across them, I'll let you know.

Looks hawt!!

good thing i live close to you julia one day ul teach me how to do this heheh btw i stil gota come over and check it out , ur makin my celly look like crap

so your car will kinda look like mine in a way... except different front clip and i have the stock fenders... but i bought my fender flares from the ecelica store when they still had them and molded them in

i like your fenders a lot better than the stock ones by the way... i wish i would've known about them when i was buying the parts for my car...

great! I did the same things by DIY.

procedures are shown at..

good luck!

Hey, with shaved doors, im sure that U would have to have pop-locks right? What happens if ur battery dies on U? What happens then? I still want mines done though.

i didn't get my doors shaved cause when i drive mine (which is often in the warm months) i get in and out of it a lot and i just thought they'd get annoying... plus i always wondered what you'd do if your battery died or if they just stopped working... then you're pretty much screwed unless you want to crawl through the trunk every time you get in the car

i used to live next to a girl that had a civic with shaved door handles. she left her lights on one night and guess what? her battery died. so she had to call a locksmith to come and unlock her car for her so she could pop the hood and get a jump start. she had a remote that opened the windows for her so she could get in, but i guess that's useless when your battery is dead.

very nice julia...def can't wait for the finished pics

U know U can actually crawl up underneath the front of just about any car and pop the hood manually with your hand... My sister somehow lost the dipstick to her car (oil), so i searched around for someone who had an identical car, got up underneath, popped the hood and took the dipstick.. Only because her car is really old and the dealership was charging $30 for a dipstick.

^^^ i wouldn't say ANY car... because some of the cars have everything packed so tight in there that you couldn't reach your arm to the top through everything unless you were maybe gumby or something

just noticed you said "just about" any... haha... anyway what kind of car does your sister have?

^^^ "Gumby" was AWESOME and I luv the cartoon..

89 chevy caviler Z24

Finally got around to painting. It's in the beginning stages so it doesn't look like the actual color yet... but i was just so eager to see what it looks like I threw it on and took some pics...

hey Julia, will your wheel-well plastics hold in place? i thought about getting aftermarket fenders, but i was unure about the plastics in the wheel-well. (just like i have problems with my front bumper and the plastics)

i'm definately gonna have to try that project one day. Only problem is i dont think you can install lambo doors with aftermarket fenders..(maybe with some cutting??)

Very nice work. You have skills.

^^^ Thanks.

The wheel well plastics would stay in place if I didn't cut off the part of the fender they would snap into. I will be cutting my plastics just like Satohshi did in his write-up because I am putting bigger rims on, and it would also look much cleaner then it does now with that gap there.

As for the lambo doors, you can install them with the aftermarket fenders with some cutting. I have mine cut already, hopefully I'll have the hinges installed before spring.

that is kick ass , the only thing that it needs is for the side skirt to flow with it .

It does flow, I just don't have any pics yet with the side skirts on. I'm not molding the fender flares to the sideskirts because I'm always taking my kit on and off. Hopefully it still looks good, I've seen lots of pics where people have done the same thing I am and it turned out great.

cool

If you get the thumbs up from Satoshi, you're doing good! Haha!

definately.
its coming along quite qell, julia
