I donīt know if this been said, but there are model specific bolt on flares in the style of OP. They go really nice around the moulding and such.

I kinda like the modified angle on the sport lip. I don't suppose you have a side shot of it, do you?

for our FCs i think the agressive body kit and wide body kit thing completes the style and
no need for flares.

for example, my buddy DK's golden FC


but that's just my preference.
Agreed sir! So what kit is on his FC? I used to drool over his car when I was on this forum before I parked my car for a little bit. I've got her back up and running, and that FC (and Justin Pawlak's) are still my 2 favorites!
