it was $75 for Powder and $350 for the exhaust work, relocating the valve and adding the tips. it was alot more work then we thought, you have to remove some heat shielding
.
the tips were too long id recommend using a different one
you also need to get the exhaust trim bezels and cut the opening up.
get the bezels painted and glued in

A quick clarification on spacers, if I put 25 on the back and lower the car with H&R springs, will I have to get wider fenders? or will stock work?

depends on what wheels.
why dont you just do the springs and measure after on how much spacer you want.

The springs came in yesterday, I am going to try to get them installed today or before the end of the week and then measure after.
Here are the wheels I have now.

iis that your car?
bc then you have flares already
honestly the 20"+ have flares but they would be perfectly flush without flares.
manufacturers DO NOT want the wheels flush, so the flares make the wheels about 1 inch inset.
car enthusiasts WANT them flush, so you should be flush without them.

Yeah thats my ride, I just realized by looking at the pictures the flares are wide because of the sport package I think.
