I'm in the same boat. I've had/ built a lot of cars and can't get over how impressed I am with my 4R (despite the horrible 4.7 gas mileage lol) and I'm pretty sure I'll drive it into the ground.
Keep up the good work.

Haha Thanks [MENTION=98723]Chewbacca[/MENTION] I appreciate it !
[MENTION=105591]swapmeet[/MENTION], I hear you! I'm thinking when the motor and or tranny goes, either rebuild or drop a new one and enjoy for another who knows how long!
@ LTDSC, he did very nice work for the short deadline, he said he needed a few more days to perfect it... slight gaps at the bumper skin area might need a little detail and I may need to find a little better rubber gasket than the tiny ones that came with the flares but all is good as I needed it back today and overall I am a happy camper! Here's a pic!

This looks awesome! Did you have them tub out the existing flares/fenders underneath or just put the new ones over top the old? I'd assume for the rubber gasket you could just run a bead of silicon along the inside edge or even the outside if you have a steady hand. I believe that's how they seal the flares on most of the Liberty Walk cars.

Thank you, much appreciated ! [MENTION=116953]rsingh0405[/MENTION]
[MENTION=91508]wkeryder4[/MENTION]. Over the old to have a mounting point. I wanted them to be removable. If I can't find a good gasket however I might just consider the silicone. Thanks!
[MENTION=87687]LTDSC[/MENTION]. That's exactly what my glass guy said, to try the OEM gaskets as they are shaped differently and thicker. If I can't find an aftermarket similar I will order me some to try! Haha Ya I guess it never ends. Just when I think Im getting closer to being done spending money on it, something else pops up haha!
[MENTION=101553]t-man[/MENTION]. thank you! I am pretty excited haha. #Man toys

Edit: Oh, after shipping it's the same price... lol

I think I paid $450 for my fiberwerx, so really about the same price. Got them at my door 2 days later though, which probably wouldnt happen with that company. I think I tried ordering sideskirts for one of my old acuras, and they basically just didnt ship them. Ended up cancelling the order after like 2 weeks.
