Just to preemptively stop any bitching and moaning, here are some quick pics I snapped. I made no effort to get good pics; those will come later. I just rolled the car out of the garage and snap...snap. I am still waiting on center caps too.

How did I know you would find this. Just be careful with the fiberglass lip....Thanks.
Thanks. I will have to look into it. That may be what I am rubbing on. I had a little rubbing on the way home, but it did not seem like the fender. What part did you trim?

While I am at it.... I am pretty much done with my car, but I would like some feedback on a few cosmetic things. Let me know what you think about the below....
Paint the front headlights (gloss black)
Paint the rear tail lights "GTR" style (gloss black with round cutouts for lights)
Paint all the chrome trim (gloss black door and trunk trim)
Paint the roof (gloss black)
All of the above
None of the above
I am also going to switch over to coilovers (Tein SS-P), and that is it.... Let me know what you think on the above. Thanks.

All you'll need is a nice sharp razor blade / box cutter. If you have one that you can set the depth of the cut on, than that will work prefectly. Just set it so the blade sticks out about 3/16" to 1/4", so it's just enough to go through the liner, but not deep enough to reach in inside of the fender well. You'll also need to jack the car up, so you have room to get in there... I removed my rear tires for even better access. All you need to do is trim about 2 - 3 inches off the edge of the upper part of the liner. I just trimmed the section between the two mounting points, so those remained intact. I started near one of the mounting points, cut inward about 2 - 3 inches, and then trimmed parallel to the edge all the way to the other mounting point. Once you've made the cut, then you should just be able to remove the piece and voila, no more rubbing!
Looks great man, needs more low. lol I know you're getting coils.
I agree with FinallyGotaG, do everything on the list but the tails. I used to be a fan of the GTR style tails but I've grown to like the contrast from the all red tails a lot.

More new stuff.... The last of my parts came in today. Tein SS-P coilovers and SPC front camber arms. I should have them on this week. I just need 3-4 hours to knock it all out....
