• heres my LS1 FC3s.  simple build  380 WHP. small cam with bolt ons. 
  
  Paint work was done by
  
  almaden collision & kenny auto Inc.
  5827 winfield blvd
  san jose ca 95123
  408 227 9191
  
  a san jose company thats worked pretty well with me. 
  
  They did the quarter panel pull and  reshaped and fixed up all the mini dings and dents on my car.   I believe in a weeks time they will be respraying my blue sapphire FC   into the color you see here.  harbor blue metallic !!!
  
  
  
   I have the shine auto kit.
  
    shine auto front lip.
   shine R-spec sides and rear valance
  turbo II hood, turbo II spoiler
  Modernized S5 tailights
  Shine auto  forsight front fenders
  
  pulled quarter panels   and all the dings dents worked out
  
  
   i also fit some 17X10.5  FR500 mustang wheels  with some 275 40 17 kumho Mx's   looks like i can possibly even fit a 315 or a 305 with a close close fit but only time will tell.
  
  
  
  other wheels i have for this car are fikse FM5's   and a set of bridgestone VTR wheels.  but with the bridgestone I will be runnin 25MM spacers to make up for the flush  17x 9.0+48 17x10.0 +38 5x114.3
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  now ON with the pictures !!!

• Beautiful car, you sir, have some skills.

• i think i am going to be in love with this car.  i want to see more!!!
  
  
  i like the lines of the rear fender pull and front shine fenders.  i think the widebodys are just a little too much most of the time.

• Very nice looking car! What front fenders are those and how much wider are they over stock?

• wow, looks sick! Love the fender combo! Can't wait to see it finished. Every wide body i've seen i don't like the look of, but this looks like it's gonna turn out great. You planning on running 275's all around?
