So I just dug up this gem of a post. Can we all just take a moment to laugh at this. Stretching a tire is super unsafe, gimme a f*ucking break!

I know I did it out of necessity, no way 265 tire can fit with low offsets.

Nice n' low Imput, nice! Where's the side skirt though?

I was planning on ordering another set, but now I'm just thinking of shaving the whole thing off, and getting it resprayed. Since the paint doesnt match anyways.

Just hack off the entire inside part and have a shop make that portion flush with the rest. That's one area that is big problems for front wheel clearance. After that it's those pesky welds at the back of the fender to deal with -_-

Oh dang, I thought I saw a pic of your car with the sides on. I guess I'm imagining things

Im either blacking mine out or just taking it out altogether. Once I painted my headlight housing black the corners stand out wayyy too much

Plus you dont notice them missing as much on a BB; like pdx's

Yeah, that's what I was planning to do. Me and a friend are gonna work on the bumper, and I got a guy to spray it. Shouldn't be too bad.

Yup, you did see a pic. But the side skirts fell off, I haven't re attached it yet.

My corners were removed in that pic because I was test fitting the bumper and the front lip. I like it without the corners though.

Here is Corksport's front and it does not come with corners.
