*Brinkworth Custom X 9UP fender rebuild*
 
18 Attachment(s)
hi
because i have no traction with 195/40/16 on 8" wheels.....i went a size bigger to 205/40/16 !!
since then the fenders didn't fit any more so i got my body shop to rebuild it...

shout outs the brothers @ Brinkworth Customs for working 4 days non-stop..no sleep so i can get it done for the DTP auto show on july16 and took home BEST Honda !!!


the fenders were build using wires to mock out the area, and filled in with welding sheet metal...........bumpers were extended by riveting steel to widen NOT FRP....tired of sh*t breaking

Lookz gud man. Did you only do the fronts? And have you considered doing most of the parts in carbon fiber....:D seems it would be a lot less weight to lug around.

looks really good... just out of curiosity, is there a reason on why you didn't put more camber on the wheels? especially the rear one?

car looks super sweet as usual felix.

You ever thought of going up to a 45 series tire so you can run better tires, like some nice RE-11s?

ATLfit10 07-18-2011 05:34 PM

So what did you do, paint the outer edges of the hood the same color as the car:confused: Is the grille c/f too?

I was debating that but because I m running 205/35 on 9.5 inch wide rims I don want the front tires to look that much bigger than bak

The grill area of the bumper is painted grey .... Suppose to match the cf hood an the outer part of the hood is painted body colour
The roof and side mirrors are also painted grey to match the cf hood
