Got any pictures of the rear in close up? (rolled fender pict would be nice)
I still have a small rub on the plastic inner part on the rear of the car....
Would like to see what you have done to fix it.

@modena:
yup, thats the part where i have problem too at first. we decided to cut the part of the plastic where it rubs with the tires, and move the position of the screw that connect the top and bottom part of the vender.

actually, i just realised that the guy who did this sprays some undercoating (black) after everything is done, so i think the pic won't show whats being done to the fender...and also my tires are so close to the fender i dont think i can take pictures, sorry...

So what happens when you hit a pothole and you crack your clearcoat?

hmm, after seeing more pics it looks off to me, your car looks like it is all wheels, the wheels/coilovers were a good choice, but I would have gone with something that tucked a little better instead of something you have to gut the buhjeezus out of your fenderwells to make fit. Man if your car had that stance on some wheels that fit a little better it would be beyond insane looking. The car looks ok now, but those wheels dominate it which is really not the reason to have aftermarket wheels, they're supposed to enhance, not steal the show from the rest of the car. (just my thinking, take it for what its worth)
