I’m no expert on body work but the cost of properly doing the front fenders won’t be cheap. I’m also not convinced it’ll look right with stock rear fenders.
Not new today, but I cleaned my headlights (going to redo them soon) they were horrible, installed a black eBay grill, added a front lip and CF rear spoiler. I have the vinyl but haven't had the time to wrap the door trim. Also haven't had time to mount, balance and install the wheels and tires sitting in the garage that will make this look make sense
Painted calipers and got wheels installed and tpms sensors on. Should I just get 2 new rims to be staggered and able to air it out and tuck or just poll and roll fenders and add neg camber to force it to work? Not really a fan of the stance game but I'm just about done with all the issues I've run into trying to build this car.
Calipers are beautiful! I love the wheel choice and color. I would get a narrower set for the front. The whole pulling and massaging fenders is nice when done right, which means body work, but as clean as your car is, I would just get the smaller fronts
Get two new wheels and go staggered. It's the least trouble-free option.
And that teal looks great on the calipers.

Thanks for the suggestions and compliments. I'm seriously thinking of going this route. Just sucks I'll have 6 wheels instead of just 4 correctly sized ones. I reached out to the president to see if he'll offer me a discount due to this. lol. Fingers crossed. One can hope and ask, right? If not, I may just sell them and go a different route on wheels.
Painted calipers and got wheels installed and tpms sensors on. Used set I got off eBay backfired. Only 1 had a working battery after the company guaranteed that they all work. Now I gotta send them back. For tires, went with 255/35 on a 10.5 rim squared. Front doing it's best fwd drag racing compounds impression with the poke.

Car's looking good!
Your best bet is to get narrower wheels for the front and just run a staggered set-up... Even if you roll what you can on the front fenders and add some negative camber you'll still most likely have clearance issues when your turning especially if you want to drop it low. It's just not worth the potential fender damage IMO. And doing any real fender modifications will cost you way more than the new wheels... Trust me, I know this from experience.
Don't take this wrong, because I love seeing this stuff, and you deserve all kinds of respect for your G and the way you share your hobby online. But at some point you have to realize your hobby exceeds the car you're working with, right?
