i've been in autobody/paint for a while. my brother owns one of the best, if not the best custom autobody/paint shops on island.

If you are going to flair the fenders, be ready for a repaint, and make sure a a fender rolling tool is used to get the flair even.

good job on the "flare" of fenders. many people pull their fenders to achieve the extreme labia sized wheels, and the super vip look.

Its definetly going to be unique, not sure how its going to look on the G as it has a pretty wide body line that runs around the fenders that you'll have to smooth out somewhat. I've personally only seen it done on 240's and SC's, but be sure to post pics when its all done
