I wouldn't worry about it at all unless you plan on going to the tracks or doing some touge (I've heard of some sick mountain pass up there somewhere in the North East, some A4 holds the record according to Road and Track magazine). If you're building a show quality car, then the route you're going is going to look sick. I respect show cars. But I think everyone here knows where I stand as performance compared to looks 
For instance, I'd never buy a Bentley. For that money, I'm going for something functional like a used Ferrari or a used GT3. Something of that sort. Others would do the complete opposite. Why, because we all want something different out of a car. What you want, is what you should go for. That's the only thing that matters. Don't take my original comment as an insult in any way. Your finished product will look sick. 
Since you're going with a widebody, you're not going to strecth your tires are you?

Clean car dude, I kinda see you got a little rust on your quarter fender though. Do you plan on fixing that? Let me know how much it gonna cost you since my car has rust in the same spot lol.

ok so here's the springs, suspension techniques sport springs 1.6" drop F&R
this is an eibach off the front passenger
the only reason i was still going on this is cause it was the top coil. it locks in place under pressure.there was maybe 1mm contact between the 2 pieces.
and here's today:
it was rubbing in the back but it was nothing a little redneck fender rolling and a 4" grinder couldn't solve, lol. once it warms up i'm gonna take it to work and shaved the inner fender lip right off and weld the new seal with the flares.

well here's an update i don't wanna make. the front passenger flare came off today, don't know where, chances of finding it are slim. took the other front one off. doesn't look horrible without the fronts. it took me 6 months to get them, so ordering another set of those is probly not gonna happen. ugh.
gonna finish grinding the rear fenders tomorrow, still rubs a bit on my side on hard bumps and cornering. i can make a left like a motherfucker though. lol
