heres a picture of mine. for some reason the front guards are strange.. the bottom of the guard where the side skirt meets it is narrower than the factory one and leaves quite a big gap

behind the wheel. dont know if they were made that way intentionally??

reduce your caster to close that gap (if you have aftermarket caster rods

they dont look finished in that picture, there is no clearcoat im guessing on those guards, not a bad job mate, i appreciate the effort it takes.

Yeah whats with the paint on the gaurds? Bit hard to tell from the pic. No clear?

lol nah mate its not the final coat just temporary, cause of the fact that im attempting this myself it still hasnt reached that stage yet theres still minor touch ups then prepping left to do which will take awile.also ive had to customise everything since they were made for gtr.which was a real head ache

and thanks craved ill have to get a set of those to fix that gap,

i could explain why the fronts dont look right but thats another story

I bought a set of front DMAX guards for $550 delivered to my door. They fit fairly well with only minor sanding needed. A couple of small issues though,

The indicator hole did not quite fit the indicator so had to silicon them in instead of using the clips and the mounting screws under the bonnet could not be done up too tight without cracking the fibreglass. Apart from that I was happy with the fitment.

Oh also one guard had a small crack in the wheel arch which cost me $100 to get repaired.

      High temp brake fluid?

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
