Im far more anal that that....the panels will move that dirt will rub like sand paper and eventually you will get rust. Not my idea of a good time...possible solutions if there is zero room....maybe some sort of undercoating like toyota uses in the FJ rear fender wells....I dunno. Id rather spend a little extra time in the build to prevent serious issues down the line.

I understand your concern, but rust is an extremely uncommon thing here in sunny California.

Seems like I've started a trend.. rocket bunny on stock wheels is the new thing!



Was hitting the back roads and randomly ran into this bad boy parked on the side of the street


Anyway, on to the semi good stuff. Finally made my way down to San Diego and picked up my rear wheels/tires as well as my adapters, beat sonic shark fin and roof spoiler, and my flossy shift knob. These things are gorgeous!



Went ahead and installed the easiest item of them all haha


Was pretty busy all weekend but found some time last night to test fit the wheels.


Needless to say, it came out pretty badass given I adjusted nothing and just threw them on..




The purple pops just like I had hoped it would as well


I still need to trim the flares and all that so it can be driven without damaging anything but that's how it'll sit pretty much. Might lower it a little to close the gap. Now I wait for the front wheels :/

Oh, and anyone interested in my Voodoo13 LCAs? I don't need them and the money would be nice.

I'm running a 25mm adapter and a 25mm spacer on top of that because I wasn't sure if 50mm was gonna be too much, but now that I know it fits I am going to buy 2 50mm adapters for the rear so I'm not stacking spacers.

i was gonna go with 40's but it looks like a 50 is what i need thanks man

Me and a buddy of mine trimmed up the flares and wheel wells last night to fit the wheels properly. Also had to "adjust" the studs on the adapters so the wheels sat right.


Installed my beat sonic stuff while we were at it too


How she sits at the moment. Hopefully only a few more weeks for my front wheels to come in.

Can I ask how you handled the cut panels, did you seal them and how? Trying to get an Idea.

Figured as much, but no one ever shows the panels stitched up. If you can get photos that would be great! No rush..

There's a few photos of them welded back together above.
