I can't wait to get these wheels on.* Anyone can pay to have their mods done for them, but when you put your own blood, sweat and tears into something, the rewards are a trillion times greater.* Here are some pics, by no means is this done yet it'll give you some ideas about how much work is actually involved...

I know it sticks out a lot but once we do some more rolling, shape the metal a little better and cut off about 1" off the bottom lip, it'll look near stock.* I can't wait!

Was wondering does the Q45 have anything behind the rear fenders?

Cuz Shawn and I tried pulling on my LS' rear fenders and it seemed like there was something else with it, like a second layer...so we couldnt pull as much.

Looks good though.

Im pretty sure they got an inner fender(metal)
You can see where he drilled out the spot welds on the edge of the fender.

From what I've heard the LS fenders also have little metal tabs behind the quarter and these need to be cut before you pull the fender otherwise you'll crease it. I believe the guys at autofashion have pulled UCF fender experiance, try hitting them up.
