It looks nice like it is, save the money and buy more petrol

Although, if you desperately want to go rocket bunny, there are more than enough photos, threads and cars out there that using the search function would save much heartache...

So you're saying residents of Delaware can't fly?

It is a nice "rack". Singular not plural.
Ta tas, boobs, gazongas, etc would be plural.

Then again, it is not my car, so carry on!

It is re-integrated with the outer quarter panel. Why don't you look up install videos/instructions for this process and see how it is done. As I said, the inner metal is bent up, the outer fender is bent down, you weld, grind, and fill and it is closed up. You then spray it to coat and seal to stop corrosion.

Just because you do not understand how the work is done doesn't mean the end result is bad.

I feel that half the people that diss on the RB kit are jealous guys that wish they could install it but can't afford it.

Anyways, there is a thread on another forum with just RB guys that compare what wheel setups they are running. Just google 'rocket bunny wheel spec fr-s'.

There is a lot of truth in that. A true car enthusiast should always accept what others do to their cars. Well thats how I think it should be.

Been restoring cars for well over 30 years. I think I have a pretty good grasp of shit work when I see it and that picture I posted shows shit work.

Bottom line from an aesthetics point, if it does not look good enough without the fake fender to cover it, then it is shit. As to the final look, I have no problems.

From a structural point, it is probably no worse than a 10 year old car with rusted out wheel arches. So, yeah, it wont fall apart is the best I can say.

But not to worry, there are enough people on this planet that don't know shit form Shinola so this mod is bound to find people who buy it.

Never has been that way and never will!
The term "enthusiast" is just too broad and what one guy loves another will hate!

I personally think big wings and rocket bunny kits look ridicules even when they are functional (when let's be honest here most aren't) and will certainly make fun of them in a light hearted manner but would also grab a torch and start cutting up your car if you asked for help.

When done right the RB kit 1 looks pretty damn sexy but the cost and cutting fenders is to extreme for me.
