Trimming/ pulling rear fenders.

[FunfGan]

Ok, so the fine has finally come where I either need to buy a fender roller, or just go balls out and trim my inner fenders and just hit shit with a bat(kidding, im quite good w/ a bfh now). Any suggestions? Could I get away with just a torch and a hammer with no trimming? A lot of you know my car but just for a reminder I'm running 15x9 +0 offset, w/ 205/50R15 tires.

And some pics:

You have a very mangled rear quarter panel.

[FunfGan]

... And trunk. The one year it spent outside of Cali/ Florida a frozen tree fell on it...

That really sucks. Any plans to fix it? Or are you just gonna leave it?

[FunfGan]

Eh, I have plans, but whether I'll get to it remains to be seen. I just don't want to fix it then mess it up drifting or some other unfortunate event happen haha. Because I mean, the paint isnt perfect but other than that the body is in amazing shape. No rust ANYWHERE obviously...

Eh, that's my though. I could fix all the dents and repaint, but I plan on tracking it. I'll just have fun with it and spend money on mechanical bits.

[FunfGan]

Exactly, I can live with appearence issues but mechanical issues are a no no. Well, Im doing the fender work today so I guess I'm just getting a hammer and blowtorch...

What kind of rims are those? Hayashi street?

[FunfGan]

Yessir.

You mean Rota Shakotan, I'm sure.

[FunfGan]

Whoops. Yeah, my bad haha. Im so used to people asking if they're the Rota's.

[325ix]

I looked at the originals and they are a pretty darn good replica.

[FunfGan]

They really are, the only problem with them is that the chrome/ silver finish on the fronts of the wheels don't go all the way to the barrel of the wheel, so with stretched tires you can see the crease if you look closely. But still, great wheels and the sizing/ offsets are much better for the Rotas than the Hayashi's. Plus they're 3-4 times cheaper.

Any more photos of your car other than the ones on flickr? Those wheels look good! Very unique for our cars compared to everyones "bbs RS"
