For one the body...

It's an 88 LX. Currently stripping the body of paint and have it 60% stripped, sanded and primered. I have a GT kit to put on and my friend gave my GT fenders for LX fenders. I didn't know they were different so I said ok sure whatever. So I got to sand these fenders down and I realize it's white with red pinstripe. Seems LX to me and it has the original black molding things but they were painted white I guess. It had no visible reminence of a 5.0 badge. So did the GTs have these moldings and the ground effects went OVER them or what? I'm ready hack them off. Somebody help me out here.

Next prob...

Anyone rear this months 5.0 or MMFF? I forget which one but they had an AFR165 vs 185 review. Anybody able to tell me what the MINIMUM to run 185s are? I am not stroking, not adding boost, no juice either so should I do 165s? And I have 1.7 rockers with .544 lift cam. Not safe is it? BTW If anyone wants to trade 1.7s for 1.6 be my guest. I think I have to much lift already.

BTW, the other fender did have a 5.0 badge (removed) and both fenders measure 31 inches on the lowest part of of the wheel well.
