The flares sound like weenie bait if the tires fit comfortably
under the bodywork.  The reinforcements, however,  are a 
definite issue so if you dominate G Stock and win Nationals 
next year, expect some grumbling and a protest or two.  
BTW, if the new Stock reclassification goes through, you'll 
be running with the Neon ACRs, etc. in DS.  I'd still think 
the E30 M3 would be the car to have in that class.

goodies.  Easy enough, except for the welded on reinforcements
(which provided no competitive advantage--unless you count NOT 
having to spend money on a new trailing arm as an advantage) and 
the flared fenders (again, no competitive advantage because they 
will be housing the stock wheels, with 225/50/15 tires which easily 
fit without the flare).
Question:  Am I asking to be protest bait?
