NV Question about Mazdatrix widebody

So i am curious if the mazdatrix widebody front fendors would look silly on my car if i dont do the rear widebody part? Do they look ok with stock bumpers and no sideskirts? anyone have pics? i plan on spacing out my wheels so they are flush too.. if i decide to do the rear widebody later on will there kit work on my 88 vert?

I'm going to be doing just this hopefully within the next 6 months. They should look fine, it will certainly look more aggressive, but they're made to match the trim. I'll be filling my trim slots for that sleek shaved trim look, but that isn't necessary. There are a LOT of cars with those fenders, too, do a search.

i did multiple searches with no luck. would you happen to know if the rear widebody kit will work on the verts? i dont know how different the back end is compared to a coupe.

You should be able to find some examples in these threads. Maybe not a lot with JUST the wide fenders, but some of the side skirts don't add much width to the car so it still shows a good comparison.

This car in particular doesn't look like it has wide rears and the side skirts are small.

i replaced my old dented fenders with some widebody fenders because i couldnt find a pair of stock fenders for as cheap as the widebody fenders. at first i thought the same thing, i wasn't sure if it would look right. but it looks great! gives it a meaner stance. real aggressive. i like. you can always get the rest of the body parts to match later on down the road.

I'd reconsider that, I've never seen a RX with filled sidemolding that looked good.
IMO, the side profile tends to look fat and bulbous without the molding line to break it up.

I have done my research and will not be reconsidering. I've already done one side and I like it much more this way.
