I'm not the first owner of this car and the previous owner drove it insanely hard.

Going back up to see my car. This time everything should be on the car and painted. If not ill get some good pictures of the parts in clear.

VesperLynn · 03-19-2013, 04:08 AM

Oh, how it shines! Should be picking the car up tomorrow or early Wednesday.

sub'd!! cant wait to see this

Well, I called forgestar yet again and the wheels are still in powder coat process. They went in the 28th of February.

I also order the wheels in November.....

Are there any instructions included?

Is there a template for what needs to be cut? I know if I did it, I'd want it to be cut perfectly even if it's going to be covered up eventually.

How does it bolt to the car? Metal screws? Rivets?

Would love to see what it looks like before the parts get put on...

Thanks!

There are instructions, but they're all in Japanese. The pictures show the cuts going mostly along the line that's already on the fender which is what we did.

As for mounting, there's screws included but they're absolutely hideous, so we're going to be riveting it to the car.

Also just wanted to point out that the black dot on all those pictures is a chip in my phone cameras lens. I will also apologize for all the pictures being low quality cell phone pictures.

Very interesting. Subscribed.

Here she is with the wrong wheels on. Getting some spacers tomorrow. Hopefully they offset the ugliness until my forgestars come in. I really really need them. The car looks so awesome, yet hideous at the same time.
