If you are going for the ultra wide, I would wait a little. He might be coming out with a solid quarter panel with the flares molded in. I ended up buying the m3 quarters separately and will have to mold the flares into it. Another issues is that the diameter of the rear flares don't match the diameter of the fronts. Not a big deal, just more glass work.Track Car Build:http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=365614Comment

I just wish the arches rolled closer to the hood line. We'll see how things go. I'm far from doing anything with the body to this extent anyways.sigpic

Got some things done last night. Finished up the diagonal bracing on the rear down tubes as well as re-notched the main hoop diagonal.

Also gutted both doors and was able to get the driver side door bars done. It doesnt look like much but for some reason this took FOREVER to get the right angles and the right notches.

If you are wondering, yes the top bar is slightly in more torwards the driver as it follow the contour of the driver door really tight.Last edited by thestein1016; 09-07-2015, 10:19 AM.Track Car Build:http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=365614Comment

Rear bumper mounted. Based on the shape of the rear bumper Im expecting just shy of 2 inches wider than stock not including the additional width of the flares. Overall, maybe 3.5-4in wider each side.
