What's the setup with ya guards? The front ones look widened, what about the back ones?

BTW, Love the colour, can't wait to see it all finished.

Looking fantastic Barls - that paint work looks great. How nice does it feel having a freshly painted shell to work on.

Only problem is you feel bad reusing old components because they stand out against the new paint....and then you buy new ones which means more money!

Keep up the great work.

the rears are stock cause the rims i have fit inside of them and i didnt like the look of the flair on the rear. yea das i know what you mean i was looking at the bumpers im using and thinking that i might have to get the rear rechromed cause its got gravel rash from the crash on it
