Back with more updates!!
The body work is 100% complete and the car is getting paint this week. I cannot express how pleased I am with the work of DTM. So far the work looks outstanding, and the paint prep as well. I am counting the days down until I can see the car with paint!!! It should be 100% done next week, at least the paint and body.
Check out the test fit of the VIP Modular VX-310, lines on this wheel will flow so well with the TL’s lines.. Its just a test fit!!! Need to get an idea of what widths and offsets to push on the car. Imagine that lip with another inch- inch and a half added to it. Also I’m going with a different finish than what was being test fit.
So stoked on this build.. Enjoy the pics!!
Test Fit:
Need more lip!! Again, imagine another inch or more..
Here you can see how sunken my old wheels are with the new fender. Used to literally rub the fender at full drop.
Door lines are perfect.
Side profiles:
Wheels looking to be done by the end of this month. Planning to show at Wek Fest, So all the work will be coming together in the next few weeks. Check back soon for paint pics!

As for the wheels.. if you have a specific wheel/size/lip in mind, then buy the wheel build the fender to fit it. If you have a wheel company local that can accomodate to you newly built fenders, like VIP Modular here in California, they can take measurements and build you a wheel to fit perfect. I reccomend the second option, but if no local wheel company to build you a wheel go with the first option. nahm sayin?
