Ok I know I saw some in someone's pictures from Vegas but this is the only one I can find right now. Not the best shot and no details but if you compair it to a stock fender you can see what the did. I think I looks very nice and not over the top in the picture. If you look on Optimas Facebook page there is a couple of other shots you can see from different views.

We did a 1 1/2" stretch on the White 72RS that allowed us to tuck the rear down without issues (315X18 no mini-tube on springs).... If you look closely the mid-body line flares from the door to the wheel well opening and the whole quarter is the stretched out ...

Makes room for a wider stance and provides room for extra clearance you're looking for....

I am sure we would all love to see some pics of the process if you have them. I was just discussing this with my uncle this past weekend.

Unfortunately we really did a poor job of photo documenting that portion of the build I'm sorry.... I know it required a lot of patience and really is great for the clearance...

I am considering taking a splash off these quarters for an upcoming one piece composite Camaro shell that I'll commence building in the Spring all things equal...
