So, my baby has been in the shop for close to a month. I wasn't gonna post anything about the mods till it was all done but I figured everybody would get a kick out of seeing her under the knife or welder & grinder in this case. So I'll post progress to this thread as it happens.

The 1/4 panels are being flared 1.5 inches on each side to accommodate the 22x13's with 315/25/22 P-Zeros

Nice to see some real custom work going on.

Wide body STS.
How is the bumper going to work with the flare?

It lines right up bud!!! No issues at all. I'll try to post a coue pics tomorrow night. My buddy was working in the bumper tonight. Completely smoothed of all seams & old exhaust cutouts filled since I have the V Coupe center exhaust on her.

I wonder if it would have been easier / cheaper to get the 08+ rear bumper cover that is different from the 05-07 model than to do all the work to the one you already had.
I didn't want those inserts with the reflectors. I want it to be completely smooth.

At least you know you most likely have THE most modified STS out there man! Looking forward to seeing what more you come up with...
I hope so, but I'm trying to make the mods as subtle as possible, after all it is still a Cadillac. There are a ton of them but they don't smack you in the face. Lol, after its painted it all should really flow well. I guess we will see. I'll keep the in-progress pics coming. Thanks for checking it out.
