and wait till the sidekirts go back on. You should consider the RJ kit to complete the lower more aggressive style, and our sidekirts are more bolstered / lower with more of a ledge.

Thumbs up

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?

I agree, I think we are all waiting with much anticipation for the final product.

it barely looks noticeable now that the whole fender is primed. I think it'll be more subtle than most thinbk when it's done.

I think it looks pretty good. Flares aren't too flashy. Can't wait to see it finished and painted.

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.

Unlike that cheesy monstrosity in the grainy pic below, I think your flares are shaping up nicely....subtle!

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

I'll hold my judgment until it's painted though.

Your car is going to look sick with the two-tone setup! Need to do mine soon!

That TSX does not look bad in the better pictures. I kinda like it.

Lexus white pearl is very nice, although if I were you, I would tell the paint guy to not add any sort of yellow coloring to the base. Just a pure white pearl. And perhaps add a bit of extra pearl flake to give it more "pop". One time when I was in NYC, I saw a MB S550 with a special edition pure white pearl, it was the hottest white pearl I've ever seen. I think it was called Designo Mystic or something along those lines. You may want to look into that color also

To each his own, but I personally dont like the black trunk and black hood idea. "Rice" may not be the right term, but you know what im getting at.... .

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!

Aw I was planning on going that same color-scheme hahah. But I don't enough money for a 5k paint job.
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.

UPDATE!! flared out fenders!!

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
