And they fit....

put the reps on today and they fit... had to grind most of the inner fender away to make them fit but so far so good.... i might have to do a lil more grinding on the drivers side rear but i can do that this weekend

^ yea it is rubbin i took it on the freeway any decent bump it rubs lol so i gota work on it a lil more... the rubbing isnt hurting the tires because i made sure the inside was not sharp but still it would mean no back seat passengers....

try the dremmel out it might work i just know the angle grinder for $18 kicked ass!! sparks were a flying!

Damn Badass set-up!!! Reps or not as long as fitment is on point it's legit. I used to be against the idea of rockin reps on previous rides but now it's all about that stance.

haha thanks! they look really clean for a rep it amazes me how they can make something for so cheap ..... my only dilemma is what to do with the center caps... i dont mind rocking reps but i don't really like false advertisement with the BBS center caps... i might just paint them a solid red to get rid of the BBS logo whats your thoughts??
