I left the doors and bumper stock. What i did was gradually increase the fender lip from the beginning of the door and come out to spec above the wheel, then return back to the original lines for the bumper.

The only down side is i now have limited compression on my suspension. 2-3" TOPS verses 4-6" stock.

When i followed my car on a bumpy road i did not see it touch the tire

Like i said, i did it where it looks like it came from the factory this way..

Where is the limitation? Is it tire on fender? Was the rear suspension lowered 2"?

Those lips look great. Awesome job.

The car was lowered but instead of having the fender clear the whole wheel i just had the top clear the wheel. The sides of the fender still will touch the tire if i compress the suspension...

I have some more photos for you NAF of my 335s. With my narrowed spring locating arms, narrower springs, lowered with D2s, 315s are going to fit easily. 345s with fender flares.

Meh, my seats are in. I'm just curious of the airbag light solution.

Maybe he isn't proud of the seat work. Or maybe he hasn't done the work? I see them in there....
