Got my new fenders on tonight. These are stock fenders that have been modified with a lip to make them match the rears. They don't match perfectly, but at least they're close. And my buddy Kingston is in a couple of these pics too. And of the course the last shot was just for him haha.

Forgestars are affordable and they look good. Also you can get them in almost any offset. One of the reasons I didn't go with them was the horror stories I've heard about their delivery times. However this shouldn't be a problem if you buy them from Rishie as he may be able to push the manufacturer to deliver on time.

Would have loved to see some more concavity in the front, but love the craftsmanship and attention to detail.

No, I don't think Rishie can get them any faster.

They say it will take 4-6 weeks.

It will take 6.

More on the splitter and wing.

Here's some pics getting it fitted:
Splitter by afgmoto1978

The wing elements are APR CF dual wing elements. Talk to Rick Jung at Ciro design if interested, you can't get them from APR anymore.

The wing mount/endplates are also by afgmoto1978 - 3/16" hydro formed aluminum. The mounts are bolted to the chassis, not to the hatch.

It does require cutting about 1/8" off the hatch edge for about 10 inches.

It almost clears with the stock gap, but not quite.

True that, it does look like a 4x4 .. When i ordered tires for it, I did not look at the height of the rear tire, 27 inch(nitto NT5) lol.. So Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 will do the trick at only 25 inch high +lowering the car. It will get the look i'm after.
That rear tire just has to much side wall meet for a 35 series ..

Put some 8mm that I had laying around on the front wheels to see what it would look like. I like it, but it does rub a little bit haha. I have some 5mm spacers I'm going to try next.

So right now, the rear fitment is 18x10.5 +22 (with 10mm spacer, so +12) and front is 18x9.5 +22 (with 8mm so +14).
