Front Lips for Roadsters???

Mike,

Have you put rubber on those wheels? You'll have to get a super straight sidewall for them to clear, I think...Maybe even narrower tread than the wheel...?

the top can be bought by smoothline, thats the one i want, the wheels don't look that deep. the door lines are extremly good, way!!!to good. that is my biggest thing about my datsun, the door gap. who would put rivets in the front airdam if it was ps'd there are some spots that look liek they were fixed but it could just be the quality of the pic. that just gave me alitte motovation

Check out mine at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2fhba/
It was custom built out of fiberglass by a body shop I deal with. As well as the flares.

thanks for the info. on the hardtop. i saw a similiar hardtop on ebay that went for 275. do you happen to know the price on those roadster hardtops? i couldn't find a price.

i have actually, 195/60's (on a 7.5" wheel

) but they clear with mm's to spare. looks really nice though, i think.

Just don't lower you roadster and you'll be fine!

No Kidding! I'm wearing 14X6 +6mm with 195/60/14's and you can't get a pinky in between tire/fender.

On the Work car, take a close look. I think the axles on a roadster are further out than in the photo.

BTW, Mike, I have Wats Lust, so your car justs looks SWEET!

Someone mentioned that with a CDM BRE airdam that you need to remove it to do oil changes etc. I've had one for 5 years. I use a couple 2x4 wood blocks that I carry. Drive over the blocks to get the necessary height to put a jack under and lift the car. No problemo.
