Im just going to get a wide front wings and rear then cut the rear arches out and put a new plate in that sit higher up to avoid wheel scrub then seal and pop rivet the rear arch on incase i need to remove later on for replacement and to get that race look. ( all undersealed behind the new rear arch.)

i done something similar with my s13.... dont fancy doing any cutting on a vert tho and taking some of the structure away..... or i wud have done the same

You could always try going Gundam style with huge overhanging arches, like thus:

Unless you put a lot of time and effort in you won\'t get those JUN style arches looking good. I remember the car that flatouts arches came from being incredibly low (the exhuast was like an inch or so off the ground) with some absolutely badass wheels on it, but for some reason it looked silly high.

Tbh a stock bodied FC with wide front arches and rear over fenders is the way to go tbh. Extremely subtle, clean and at the same time mean :D

heres the car

thinking am gonna possibly go for the vented wings and over fenders instead.... not keen on that front bumper ^^, rest of it looks good!

Yeah I like the bn style fronts you can get from epr, might need them if I decide to use rear  starion rims on the front as well. Let us know what path you chose and how you get on mate.
