fender flares.. or..?
I got hooked up w/ my bodyshop.. and they will do custom fender flare job on mine.. ($500~700) and this included.. side molding, trunk molding, repaint my bodykits, fix some dings, fender flares four side, etc..
and.. what i'm asking u guys is that..
is it better to do it on my bodykits? or is it better to do it on full molded lips??
i was gonna do it on my bodykits, but i got offers from some guy who wants my bodykits.. and if he can buy 'em for sure, i'm going w/ custom lips and flares.. or custom lips w/ new paint job(but i doubt i can do it since i have to pay more $$$)
hmmm.. which should i go w/..??
if i go w/ lips, i'm thinking of putting 2nd gen CLs or TLs..

if your shop can mold CL-S lip onto your stock bumper.. i think u should go for it.. same with rear lip and skirts..
500-700 bucks for all that sounds cheap to me.. unless its not including tax and extra labor, etc, etc..

It will look good if you get some wheel spacers to bring your wheels out to your fender flares. I dont like fender flares when wheels are tucked in too deep but thats my opinion.
How much will it cost for them to shave the "A" off the trunk lid?
