Here is some #### I've done today: pre fitted my pop up's , they will always stay up I think it looks sick.... on a hatch :P and got my rear brace with a spot to jack up the car...... since the car will be super low and jack wont slide under my bumper ( my old car was like that I always had a hard time lifting it during tire changing and the kit was not as low as this one )

So on my old car when I am drifting and suspension going up and down front tire rubs off fiberglass fender... so maybe this will help
http://i51.tinypic.com/2hh2mxh.jpg
got aluminum plate traced and cut to fit perfect and then bent a little lip where tire will rub instead cutting into the fender. that will be protecting my nice D-max fenders lol I hope
http://i53.tinypic.com/160z9yf.jpg
Fits nice and tight
