Thanks I just got to started the thread. But I got the car in July of 2014 so I've had a little over a year but it was in the body shop 7 months for the sheet metal replacement.

With that time frame you are still doing well ... I wished a body elf would come over to my house and finish my quarters, lol.

Post lots of pics ....

I never really liked the shape of the 2nd gens inner fenderwells with all of the recesses for the wiring and structure ribs, but I did like the anvil carbon fiber ones, I just couldn't bring my self to spending the 2500 for them. So i hammered out all of the ribs and structures and English wheeled and planishing hammered all of them out here is a picture of a stock one for reference



Here is the one after I beat out the ribs and channels, still have to engish wheel and planish them out.




Here is a stock engine compartment vs what mine look like with the inner fenderwells modified i think they look pretty close to the anvil ones at a fraction of the cost.

Thanks I didn't really keep track of the time but id say with hammering them all out and English wheeling and planishing them out for both id say about 8-10 hours for them both.
