The tires were a tight squeeze in the rear with only about a 1/2" between the rubber and the quarter panel and I also had to remove the rear shock to let the axle drop enough to get the tire on. But when you find a full set of 17" Torq-Thrust II's with the rubber on Craigslist for $600, you find a way to make it work! :)
I used the headlight frenching kit from Hagan. It went in farily easy with just a bit of sheet metal trimming and welding. Accessing the headlight and adjustment screws is not a problem as the chrome trim ring is only held in by sprung retaining clips and can be easily removed. It's may not the best kit out there, but I was certainly happy with the results.
