I'm sure there are but thought I could check if anyone here got it done so I know they have some experience with our cars. The problem is I got new tires but apparently the brand doesn't stretch as much as my old set so it rubs the fenders on bumps. So my options are order new tires and swap them or get my fenders pulled out. I'm being cheap so fender pull it is.

Btw have you been to any meets yet? I'm still surprised by the number of people on this forum and how many I still haven't met yet. To be fair I haven't been to many meets that are posted on FB.

Have you checked out the G's FS section? I have considered selling mine, but I have high miles on it, and the resale value is just not there. KBB estimated it at around 13k. Nooope.

Hey, kRAM, lmk if you find a good place that does fender pulls. It would be nice to know of a competent place in the bay area. Hayward is like cancer for good shops. Also, good luck finding one.

PS

I'm back from WA, lol. We should do a meet before I get a job!

On a side note I finally installed the fog lights into the ipl bumper. Couldn't use the fog lights built into the headlights since I painted them so I just rewired it to the new fogs in the bumper. Yay for factory switch!

Noice (on the fender, lol). I have DD leds in my headlight fogs, in amber. I really ghetto wired the lower fogs though. I might rewire at some point down the road and make it look nicer. Maybe even add in a relay. Who knows.

Mine actually came as a kit with all the wiring but I didn't want to have a separate switch. Not sure if the relay and fuse would be of any help but I kept all the wiring if you want to use it.

Yeah man all this damn rain got me scared to drive the damn car! LoL. I don't want it getting stuck in a deceptive looking puddle!

I may eventually swap to a '11 bumper with the fogs...I'd keep the headlight fogs as well and just wire the bumper to a switch. But I am not gonna lie, I am lazy as ****! After doing a trans swap on my last car I am all about paying someone else to do it! LoL

I think I'm gonna wash mine today. It hasn't been washed since the round trip to WA, and it looks like something out of road warrior. The grime is so bad it looks like I have a matte vinyl wrap
