Effing Amazing G!!!
The rear fenders are what stood out to me the most. Excellent work! It is noticeable, yet the factory lines have been maintained, so it is almost understated. Like a slightly exaggerated stock body. Very VERY impressive! This is exactly what I would like to do to my sedan. Clearly I would need to find the same sort of auto body wizards that you found in order to have it done properly. I'm saving pics of your car for inspiration. EXCELLENT WORK!!!

Really nice Sedan you've been working on Scarab, love bronze wheels on black Gs and like Rochester said, nice choice to show off your BBK
Did you get it aligned yet, and what wheel/tire specs are you running?

Thanks! I think I want to have the calipers powder coated now. I really like the look of the Akebono logoon the caliper so I'm thinking I may do that as well.

I had her aligned this weekend. The camber arms and toe bolts did their jobs amazingly.
My wheels are 20x10.5 et.28 and I'm currently running 245/35r20 at all four corners. I'm moving up to 255/35r20 tires, but I figured I'd let the suspension settle (and wallet cool off) for a few weeks before having new rubber mounted.

Do you have a pic going straight down the side, interested how aggressive they poke w/ that offset. Would be a nice addition getting the calipers painted. Keep us posted!

Your car looks really nice. Very clean! How did you go about blackening your headlights?

I traded my stock headlights for these modified lights. He put them in the oven and painted them himself and replaced the lenses with clear sti. I need new headlights soon though because the paint is peeling and the outer lense is crazing. Thank's for the compliment!
