Since you're doing the whole thing, I think it should end up pretty nice Are you going to put bigger rims on? I'm sure lowering it isn't an option to fix the wheel gap.

Its all because I broke a headlight cover and had no money to fix it, but I had lots of parts including my 95 esi parts car. 1998 tsi awd, some mods 1997 spyder gst, some mods 1996 honda civic B20 2003 Honda Accord
