here is a photo of the car when the flares were just primer. i drove it this way for a long time. They are pop riveted on. I tried to bondo the holes over, but found out that fiberglass and bondo dont like each other, so i dug out the bondo and glassed them in.

Now all i need is a new drivers side non turbo fender (you may have noticed that the drivers fender has off-looking paint, and is a turbo fender) and I need rocker panels. I have no idea where to get them. Otherwise the car looks pretty good.

Nice work! How far did you have to blend to get the flares to match the rest of the car? Or did you just paint the flare?

just painted the flare. I wasnt sure what the factory paint consisted of, urethane I am guessing? I just didnt want to paint over it.

Nice, suggest you leave the rocker and change to the GT front spoiler,
fill in the rear side markers and remove the rear bumper extension to tuck in the rear bumper.
Either way I think you might need to remove part of the original rear arch at the front end because I'm pretty sure all the rockers tuck in just behind the quarters.

it is cheaper and easier than you think too. Doing it all myself, all the wide modifications you see there only cost me 790 dollars (not including the wheels) Thats painted and done. I figure when I find a good black drivers fender it will cost me at least another 100.

There are rods that go from the read bottom on the front fender that pulls in the fender so It does not look like a wing.
