Hang on..... Hold the fck on... No im not laughing. This is from the guy who put a 2JZ in a ford right?
That is correct sir.
To clarify...
It looks like you are more than capable of doing this stuff on your own, which deserves merit. At the same time, it also looks like you are not afraid to jump right in and do it. And yeahhh theres that “ it’s your car, and it’s your money” thing too, which entitles you to do what you want with your time and money.
But when it comes to doing stuff to these cars,
most wanna see something positive come out of the effort.
When you painted that car, I said to myself that for a first time effort, that didn’t look too bad, so again,..I thought it was a positive thing given all of the rust you chose to fix.
But...
Taking a sawzall to a front fender and then slapping on a fender flare to make a tire clear because you simply would rather run the wrong offset wheel, or building a plywood skyscraper wing, and a 59 pound rear diffuser for a car that‘ll probably never see an aero benefit from either, while both mods are more than likely going to fall off while traveling down the road ( because of your self-admitted zip tie method of attachment) are the equivalent of doing sht the wrong way.
Look around here for a minute..No parking lot drifters, nobody building external aero mods out of plywood or mdf, nobody butchering fenders with a sawzall.
There are some guys that do road race here though,...cars that see real speed where something intended to add downforce better be well built, and equally well attached or otherwise, the wind that works to add that downforce would just rip that sht right off the car. Those same guys are running 9” wheels up front under stock fenders with 275 width tires. ( yours are what?...like a 7-8“ rim with a 215 stretched onto it?)
Bottom line for me is always the same. If you don’t want input from someone don’t put it out there. There are several ways to do things to a car, a lot are good, some are exceptional, and just as many are just wrong.
Im quite sure you coulda made that car better had you chose to, I think you’re capable.
Just because some cultures think its acceptable to boil live cats before skinning them alive and eating them doesn’t make it ok everywhere else.
Stop boiling the cat.
