How do these look? I have not riveted them completely in yet. I'm just seeing how you all finished them. How much lip did you leave on the bottom of the front rocker? Rear?

looks pretty good, did you have to trim much? Also did you install them with the body on.

Looks great. Just make sure nothing hits on the suspension travel. I had to make room for brake lines on my 1st 818 build.

Yes- It needs to be on.

Yeah- I had to trim about 1.5 inches off the vertical aluminum. These were not made with the R ride height in mind.

Looks like you gotta trim for lower control arm travel and Coilovers to clear

Already trimmed. Coilover was fine.

Trim away all you are comfortable with on the front so marbles will not pile up. Somewhere I saw a coating that was supposed to resist rubber marbles from sticking.
Looks good!
