Just found out some terrible news. The guy from Toronto that's producing those extra wide overfenders is only producing 15 sets, after which he is completely destroying the molds on purpose...for the sake of keeping them exclusive and rare. Would be fine...but they're all spoken for already.
Not. Happy. At. All.

For just the F&R overfenders it's about $1150, which is roughly in line with what the other "genuine" options cost. He only wants half up front, which won't be a problem once that damn tax check comes through...
Just hoping he's ok with giving me a bit...

About 30 minutes ago I heard burning rubber and then a crash, so I flew out the door to go see what it was. It was right outside my window and apparently someone burned out and then lost control and ran into a speed limit sign, and then left the scene. I have the passenger side corner light and I've been trying to figure out what kind of car it is ever since. It says korea on the lens.

. He had just gotten out of jail...and back he went 
. There was always something going on around there. I came home to and/or witnessed at least eight accidents at the intersection in front of my house. Crazy considering it was the intersection of 30mph and 25mph streets. I once counted three in five days. Yeah, I felt safe when doing yard work.

haha. it's amazing what people can manage to do on a 30mph road. Blow my mind. This is the third situation where a car has gone off the road now. There could have been more when I wasn't home too.
For the one that happened last night, there are burn out marks on the pavement starting from where my window is and you can see how the car got sideways into the pole. Someone knocked on my door earlier in the night but when I went to the door no one was there. Not sure if the two are related, but you never know.

Hey guys, I can't really find a thread on this so maybe someone can help me out here. Does anyone know of a local place that can come out and do fender rolling? I'm from Yadkinville which is like an hour up 77 from Charlotte and 20 minutes west of Winston-Salem. Any help is appreciated!

I am not familiar with a place that will come to you. Why not make a day trip to Charlotte and get it done at Euro-wise?

Dude you really need to holler at Aaron Mabe. His fender work is suuuuuper good, a cool guy, and he's in Winston Salem. Try and find him on FB, he has a sick white turbo s2000.

Thanks guys! I was having it fixed after a bump up and wanted to have them rolled while it was in the shop before painting. But if I can't find somewhere that can come to me (I know there's one in Raleigh that does) then I can go after it's out of the shop.

Yes.
Yes. Those photos are real, actual photos with no photoshop. I know it might be hard to believe with all the photoshops I recently made and the fact that I didn't announce that I would be painting the wheels at all.
Are you in a state of denial?!

Thanks homies. Aaron and BK have seen it in person and both of them really liked it I could tell.
Next color will more than likely be red if I ever get tired of the black.

Since I guess the tl is running again Eric? Unless I missed something early? Love the black wheel kinda racerish looking now especially with that volk sticker.
Bryan if u get a legacy be careful of the turbo my cousin got one and only after a year he seized the motor his only had like 100k on it. Something about metal fragment in the system.
Who all going to import alliance? I know byran, Jason and Eric are going.

Thanks for the comment on the black wheels. BK said he isn't sure about the SL style sticker when the car is rolling. He said it looks good when the car is parked though. And on the passenger side I'm running the stickers that I had on the neon version. Luckily when I went to peel them off the spoke they remained together and I could use them again which was awesome.
Evan is going too. Are you going?! Did you get those wheels?!
