Both very tasteful mods that look sick. You need to edit your post though, you cannot advertise a product/service on here without being a sponsor.

I've never heard anyone call it a rear fender. Looks good, at first I thought they looked too pointed and sharp in the middle of the flare on the quarter, then I realized thats just the angle of the picture.

Here are some more shots of the hood scoop in the sunlight. There's still some polishing compound residue in the scoop, but you get the idea.

Been a member for a while and never posted, but this looks exactly like the factory should have gone with in the first place. This has always been my biggest disappointment with my 4th gen(the rear fenders).

The question I have is; by doing this, does the opening above the tire have to be raised, or can it be done in such a way as to keep the reveal the same?

Very nice work.

Thanks for the compliment. The reveal or radius above the tire can be done either way. It's funny that you ask that because the black car's radius is the same as stock, while the red car's radius is about 1" higher than stock. It's a preference thing.

If you take the plastic grill out of the scoop, there is a ridge and looks unfinished, so I filed the ridge off and fiberglassed it to transition nicely into the scoop. Also the top of the scoop is about a 1/4" taller towards the front as seen in the side profile shots. They are subtle mods, but still a lot of work to accomplish.

Ahhhh okay, I knew I was missing something. Thanks for clarifying and it definitely did come out great.
