Ok Im going through the plans for the car this year. I'm going nuts.

Really thinking of pulling the trigger (when funds arrive) on wider/more aggressive wheels and fender flares.

Going to go with Carbon Miata flares and (most likely) 15x9 +0 wheels. Planning for this is required.

Rear fender cutting and welding will be necessary...I can manage all the cutting, grinding and finish work myself. However, I have no knowledge of welding. Is it possible to cut everything and fold the tabs over and drive the car before getting the rear quarters all welded up?

Gonna have to plan this is far out to get someone over to weld or to drop the car off at a local shop to get welding done.

Thanks MR!
