But the arches would take a battering if they were left standard...

what offset are they? ET 0?

Plastic additions or welding in new metal to enlarge them?
Civic VTEC front arches are noticably wider then CRX VTEC ones.
I wonder if that's the case for all Civic arches, or just the VT ?
Cos if it aint all of them, there is the front sorted !

That to me or "4th-gen-ken"

If me then i'd cut the arches then weld on metal to extend them trying to keep the standard shape

Not quite finshed yet but coming along

Couldn't weld all the way down the metal strips, kept blowing holes in the bonnet ¬_¬ tacked them on the fibreglass the backs. STill strong as hell though

Good to be different

Anyone had a bonnet hinge break before?

Opened my bonnet tonight and the passenger side went all loose (actually snaped off the hinge (the mount on the body, not the bonnet itself)).

On a plus side got alot more done on my side skirts and bonnet tonight.
Few short months and paint time
