Krip,
I don't know i I trust any company that goes by "PMS"

Kozzi,
The flat fender looks good! I get more and more jealous of your car as this project continues.

Personally, I love the way the lip spoiler was done on this one. It had a nice crease between the lip and the trunk which IMO balances the look better. Kozz, I have to say I'm amazed at how fast and how good the work you do is. I may have missed it, but do you know how many mm's/inches you've widened the fenders by?

I like the way his spoiler turned out too! The way it rises in the middle, i might modify mine.

Anyways, i don't really have a good idea.....you can measure from a hundred different spots but it's at least between 1.75-2.25 inches wider. when it's all said and done it might be more but i'm waiting until i blend into the sideskirts before i go too big.

its hard to use a reference point to measure the flare but pick a spot and i'll give you a measurement

How about taken some pictures around the car as it stands now from a few feet back so we can see the whole thing, curious how this is all coming together as it stands.

LOL.

The name might be a little out there but the owner (IIRC is named Mike) is an awesome guy. He's always willing to help and share his experience when it comes to parts for Audis. Some of the locals will probably say the same thing about him (as far as I know) two SoCal guys got their cars chipped there and some other work done.
