Just a couple more things before storage. Air pump removal & sanding the front bumper down for paint.  Its getting colder now so we'll see.

Mine is still stock, I don't know how I feel about those extended wheel wells.  I personally would bondo that up and repaint it to make it seamless. 

I don't like drilling holes into any o my cars

I don't like bondo and molding in something that isn't meant to be molded.  If it were to be molded its better to purchase sheet metal ones and weld them on, smooth it out and then paint.  Just so you know its not only riveted on, its cut and welded on the inside.  Its done the right way. They do sell plain ones to be molded also, but they look weak & aren't the same style or have the same wheel clearance.

Of course wide fenders aren't for everyone.  My wheel & tire options open up with these over flares.  O0  Its ridiculous to have to find 17x10s & +70mm offsets or roll fenders just to fit 17x9s +45mm.

Not gonna lie, I really wanted the white with tan interior.  Say a lot of grays for sale and cheaper.  Settled for the red, couldn't find any white.  Didn't want black.

If yours is still stock just enjoy it the way it is for a while.  I'm only building mine up because its old now.  I've had mine since it came out and already on its second motor.  I want to repaint my car so that's why I'm doing cosmetics now.  I'll be doing either red or white for a new color.

Love my GPW but wish it was a pearl white...  :-\  At least it has the black with red interior and not the tan.  ::) 

She's under cover for the quite mild winter we been having so far...  O0
