Details? Pm me if you don't want to post them here.

I went for the touchless wash tonight. It was too dark to really get a good look, but I think it looks good. I'll update tomorrow.

you def need some wider tires on that size rim, 235 way to skinny for 10" wide wheel. unless there used for all season driving. seems like a waste of 2". not trying to be a *ick, just wondering.

Well actually its the fronts that are really a *****. It's because the lip is so small to begin with that its hard to bend it without bending the alluminum fenders. Also, i'll assume you understand you will need a heat gun also? I have one if you need to borrow it!

So what size tire are you plan on running? There are more issue you will run into then just the lip if your going big. Like the seams and the bolt to hold on the rear bumper. I had to cut off some of the tab for the rear bumper to make my wheels work. Now i am running 285's so it might not be a big deal if your going to run a 265

looks like 265's to me Paul. . And those are still small IMO. Heck run some 295's or 315 if you want a more aggesive look. Or just go buy some spacer!
