Alright so this is also a sneak peak at how im doing my fender so it flares out to the bumper. Basically it was done just by modifing the fender in ways. :lol:

But onto my second problem. The wheel lips do not match up. Suggestions on how to match them up?

Im thinking im just going to have to add onto the bumper which isn't the greatest to do but oh well.

What does the back of the wheel well look like? Maybe you should cut the flat in half...right where it hits the top center and cut out the front part of it again and put it where you want it and fab a little piece to fill the gap in....

Atleast I think that would be the best option to make it look right....without having to extend the bumper...which would prolly be easier...but hey...who wants the easy way out and a funky looking bumper.....
Like people read this stupid thing anyways...

I also thought about what if I removed the flat 1" section of the wheel lip and just moved the piece that wraps around the backside up?

Don't know if I explained that well.

hey man Ive been watching the build up of your bumper, I dunno if this helps but if it were me I would add some pieces out of metal or wood to the bumper to flow into your fender lip and then make a complete mold of it, then after that I would make a brand new fiberglass piece with the mold instead of messing with cutting that plastic :)

Post up some more pictures where we can see whats going on behind the tire...where the pic you have cuts off to see what your working with there...maybe I'd be able to help you come up with some more ideas if I knew exactly what you were working with.
