Why? If it's going to come down to JWL's decision on a case by case basis, why have a rules book at all?! :roll:Quote:

IMO...I read "OEM replacement panels" as meaning something that's relatively the same shape and size. IMO, a slantnose Mustang would have to employ non-OEM sized fenders and hood.
There's got to be a line...in AI, we just don't know where that line is just yet. Stay tuned.

You might not want to read the April 5.0 Mustang Mag where the Agent 47 AIX car has changed the fenders locations and has a larger hood, and I quote "a hood 5 inches wider than stock"Quote:

What I am talking about wouldn't require any fender or bumper modifications, just the addition of sheet metal.
I would be more than happy to make the air dam out of 1/8" Lexan if you want to still see the top of the OEM bumper cover.
uh, I could do the very same thing in AI with stock fenders and some sheet metal to widen the hood... Not that I really want that extra 5" of frontal area...but NOTHING in the rules says I can't, unless I am stupid and ask JWL for permission...besides, so far it seems OK to ask for forgiveness rather than for permission because it will just result in a rules modification in your favor. It's sort of a self inflicted rules creep situation! :lol:Quote:

That is Richard's sarcasm...he is making the same points we are.Quote:
