I'll probably end up using some 18's so they can really tuck under the flares

Okay SEMA is over, so now i can focus a little more on FINISHING this project. Here's a couple updates....went a little wider all around and got some really good poly-primer on the fenders hood and trunk lip so i can start blocking for paint.

i love the conversion idea, mainly for the reason of the uniqueness of the idea.

of the overall look, and the big reason i like it is the BIG/Full grill styling. IMO the only design flaw of the b5 body styling is the smaller grill.. (tho a full chrome upper and lowers of the B5 is perfect!)

looks real nice just needs the audi emblem!

PROPS!

lol, believe it or not this front is a 1/4" shorter that the oem b5 bumper.....but with the headlights coming out to the bumper, the hood extending, and the lip kicking out instead of folding under.....it does look much longer.
