Interesting.....That actually looks pretty good! Wide and aggressive, kinda like the M3's stance!
Why not complete the look and get trunk lip spoiler, Tints, and some wheels that look like M3 CSL's wheels?

dude you should get a custom 2 tone paint job... half nbp
from the side you can see the flare... but from the distance it isn't visible... perfect

I totally agree! Can't wait to see the finished product!
If you dont mind me asking, how much is this costing you? I'm considering getting it done.

cool I have to see this! I like flared fenders within reason. These are not overdone at all. I think they'll look good in the end. Are you keeping the color SSM or repainting the whole car something else? I'd do a nice non-OEM color, might as well if you are doing that much bodywork. Do a nice photoshoot.

I found some pics of a TSX A-Spec Concept with flared fenders. Looks pretty good.

ok so i changed my mind AGAIN! now im doing a whole color change on the car, it'll be starfire pearl ( lexus is250 white) with black roof, black trunk, and black hood, since i couldn't find a cf trunk, then were painting the axis shines black but we're leaving the lip silver

Unless your going for the show car look, subtlety goes a long LONG way my friend!
I personally would go for the "It came from the factory like that" look...
Anyways, thats just my opinion.
I do think the black roof would be nice. Slammed JDM used black vinyl on his WDP and i think that looks hot! Same stuff they use to billboard/advertise on buses/trains. Excellent idea considering his car is a lease!

Only thing I see different is.. I plan to get BBS RS-GTs--and no flares =]
Once you are done.. it's like me seeing into my future 'brother' hahah.
To the other person, I don't think the black hood/roof/trunk looks rice.. I think it gives the car a tuner-sort-of-look. But a factory-look is sexy too! Maybe I'll consider having only the roof done since it's becoming coming to get the hood/trunk done as well.

Bottom Line - If it makes you happy - It is the right thing to do. No one got hurt it the project.
Personally, I have reached the "Just because you can - doesn't mean you should" stage in life. That doesn't mean that I can't admire your work.

i asked the guy not to use the gold pearl but just platinum pearl instead, the gold pearl is what gives it the yellowish tint to it... thanks alot for all the input guys i know some like it and some don't thanks for the feedback anyways i know all of the negatives and positives will help me with another project car (lexus is250)that i plan on doing hopefully pics of that soon too! i will definitely go with a full VIP setup on that one just because it has alot of aftermarket support for it!! thanks again hopefull pics will be up soon
