I didnt see anywhere, where you mentioned whether you were lifted or not (or I am simply blind). With a 9" wheel and no lift, I am VERY curious to see just how much you will be cutting. I have 18x8.5's on 285/60's with no lift and my cutting was (and still needs to be since I have a new front clip now) considerable. Whatever you do, dress it up well after you cut. I found a good metal file did a good job at really flushing it all out.

[Dumke]

Worm I do have a lift on it.


I did the front cladding all sloppy because was in a hurry to get to the alignment shop so i have to dress it up a little nicer. But like Dub said its a wheel well who cares.. I really just need to straighten my line out that i cut.

Your having that much troubles with those tires and a lift??? I did not think it would be that bad. I barely had to cut any cladding with my set up.

Well I never could color in the line when I was younger lol. I was actually in a hurry in the front and instead of marking it off and taking my time bringing out a drimmel i used the ol first saw i could find in tool box method. it worked good just a little crooked. I had to hurry to get it to alignment shop before they closed.


Now the rear of the front wheel well I havet done because it rained yesterday . That and wasnt sure of what bracket was but now I am because of you all and well pictures should be up by this weekend.

[phxsunfan]

AHHH still deciding..... Here is the deal I am going to Provo the weekend before the VX only run for a track meet with Houston Baptist University as one of their coaches. We are flying in on thursday and flying out on Sunday I believe. I have been thinking of driving up the VX but that long of a drive 40 days away from the Olympic Trials is not that great of an idea. I have thought about just staying some extra days after the meet and hanging out with everybody and then flying back later after the team has already come back, but I know I will hate not having my VX. So I am still up in the air about everything.....
