FNO1R-C front 17x9 +43/rear 17x8 +43. Mind you these are temporary til I find some "ballin' outrageous" Fabulous or Junction Produce rollers in a nice offset. Rear fender is cut with a slight pull while the front is rolled and pulled a good amount.

I know.. I had to cut the rear just to fit the 8's. It Actually rides very well though with no rubbing issues. I need to pick a color though. I'm thinking Nighthawk Black Pearl or Champ white. Any suggestions?

In the gardening section there is a roll of black lawn edging. You do not need too much, so use the shorter roll which is about 15 to 20 feet, iirc. I have seen people use two pieces that meet in the middle of the bumper, but i opted to go with one whole piece for a cleaner look. Measure the amount you need and cut leaving extra at both ends. You can always trim it off once it is all mounted. Trim the top edge off and leve the rolled end on the bottom edge. I used strong doubled sided tape and small black bumper clips placed evenly along the length of the "lip". Trim the center for the grill opening and the ends and you have your self inexpensive lip.

That is correct. I wanted a taller lip to compensate for the taller sidewall so i opted for the lawn edging. Even with a 2"+ drop the front bumper still rode a bit high for my taste.

That was the toss up for me, CW or NBP. After staring at my cousins S2000 I kinda like Berlinetta Black now so I might go with that instead...as for the fenders I am definatley going wider. Theres no turning back now with the fender lip cut out.
