You have my attention! Holy E36 M3! I take it you are doing this for a set of rules to go racing? Or does this fall into the 'why the hell not' reasoning?

The look's not bad but obviously you're going to have to cut into the hood some more to give the tires room when turning. Are you going to put bodywork over the tires when you're done?

This kit was installed at Rick Mears to my knowledge.previous owner side swipped somthing on the driver side,the kit looks kinda Bulky(fat)to me so may not use the side panels. jeepers mister I wouldn't cut up a Geo.

Now that right there is funny!

I think it looks great. Leave the tires exposed, or don't, still Boss.
