My car is sapphire black, it would be great if I could just paint the fenders instead of a 2500 paint job lol

Yeah, I think that you should be ok with just painting the flares

How much additional width does the rocket bunny kit add?

I would go with a wider front wheel. Maybe try a 10.5 et25 on a 275? R888 tend to run pretty wide.

Which over fenders did you go with(89-93 or 94-96)? I'm looking to do the same and modify it to work on a 1M style front bumper. Going for big power in the next couple months with rb stage 3 with upgraded inlets ETC. I'm trying to kill the game in Canada haha.

Awesome thread! Let me know, thanks

Nice! Don't the stage 3 super RB's already come with their own inlet piping? Car should be a beast. Is there any reason you chose the stage 3 upgrade vs. a single turbo kit?

Yup, they do come with their own inlet piping. I love the drivability and low end power we have on our cars, and I feel like it will be missed if I go single. If Rob is right, and on full e85 tunes we can achieve close to or over 700whp, with our powerband the single turbo'd n54s will have a run for their money.

Those disks are a bitch to get hold of, 3-6 month wait. Hence a few of us will be going to 135i rear hubs to have more parts available. Food for thought.
