interesting body mod April 21, 2012, 02:55:41 PM i literally stumbled upon this.. when i bought my 4 eyed front clip from BJL, he gave me the front lower halves of the fenders with it.. well, for some reason i decided to do body work today and i started attacking the rust on the driver side 1/4.. i cut the patch from the passenger side fender chunk and trimmed it to fit the hole.. it actually steps the wheel well arch out at the bottom a bit, giving it a little more 'flare.' it really looks badass in my opinion, compared to the original, which begins to 'tuck in' with the rest of the lower 1/4it's a subtle mod that almost no one will notice, but i think it really makes the flow of the rear 1/4 panel and wheel well arch look a little more aggressive and 'stylistic' (for a lack of better terms lol) Quote Selected

interesting body mod Reply #2 – April 21, 2012, 06:34:11 PM i'm going to get some better shots of it in a little while.. i'll snap some of the unmolested passenger side for comparison Quote Selected
interesting body mod Reply #3 – April 21, 2012, 07:58:35 PM alright, some more pics.. i wish i had white paint, it would show the actual fitment a little better.. the black makes it look like it has a giant crease, when it in fact lines up perfectly and flows fairly wellpassenger side for comparison.. and for reference, both rear tires are the exact same size cooper cobra radials.. you'll see the majority of the difference by paying close attention to the vertical tread groovesyou can tell by comparing the area of the tire each side coversthe section of the fender chunk i'm using for the passenger side.. since that side is in better shape, i'll take some good before, during and after shots, to better show how well the piece really fits into the 1/4 Quote Selected

interesting body mod Reply #5 – April 21, 2012, 10:41:14 PM i pray yours isn't as bad as mine.. my whole lower 1/4 is covered in filler.. i'm not grinding it off to find out what's under it.. i'm afraid to see.. lol Quote Selected
interesting body mod Reply #6 – April 21, 2012, 10:50:57 PM No theres not really much filler in mine that I can tell so far. Behind the wheel wells on mine is pretty good, its in front of the wheel wells I gotta do some work on!!! Quote Selected

interesting body mod Reply #8 – April 21, 2012, 11:50:40 PM Mine isnt quite that bad, but now I have a whole unusable hood (as a hood any how!! ) that will work great for flatter areas like that!!! I guess getting in the wreck may have some good come out of it for me!! Quote Selected
