It seems that Logan keeps making new gains in HP with his ongoing R&D.

Sooo, I decided long ago that I was going to go all the way and do a slightly wider wide body for my car. The only front fenders I have an interest in are the Mariah Motorsports front wide fender. It is 1.25" wider per side and it keeps the basic lines that Mazda produced. It is also very high quality..

I pretty much can't stand any of the current stupid drifter looking garbage that I see done to second gens..puke.

I did always like the Tri-Point but that is gone and it was a bit to radical for this particular car.

So, I found a guy in St. Louis that I really resonate with. His name is Doug Jenkins and he is phenomenal.

This guy loves what he does and is super anal about his work and rep. I got him to go pick up the car from Logan and he has started.

We are using the Mariah fenders in front. I also bought a Shine Auto front air dam lip. I am having Doug file in the air vents along the bottom of the air dam. I guess they are for brake ducts or something. They look to me like they would just cause turbulence. I will also have the stock front lip available if I don't like the Shine piece or if I want a little higher front clearance.

For the rear we are doing the fenders in metal and we will make them about two inches wider. I hope to get a 305 under the fenders. I will be happy with a 295 though. I am doing a 17 front and an 18 rear wheel.

The rear fenders are to mimic the front in appearance. I want the car to look a little wider but not much different than stock. I think many people will not even know that anything has been changed.

Doug is also doing a super high quality original color paint job. The fender wells will be completely finished out as well.

So here we go. It was a little scary having someone hack up the car but I trust Doug.

The work is done in metal. There is a little filler used to cover up the wheel scratches but the work is in metal. The entire car will be taken down to the metal before paint

Doug should be done in about 1.5 months and the car will be going back to Logan's for the final engine work.

My car will be done this summer..... Right Logan??
