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.

 

here are more pics!! its getting painted soon i hope, this guy has been taking his time but i guess thats good oh and i'm not the first for fender flares!!

 

but i like how mine still blends in with the lines, i'm not feeling his flares looks outta place

 

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?

 

its gonna look good when its done

 

Nope you ARE the first..thats a TSX

 

yeah, thats why it look weird on the tsx..the body is different.

 

my bad

 

um. i hope it turns out good... because those pictures make me cringe! seeing your car all ripped up and torn apart...

 

man that is is so bad ass !!!

 

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

 

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

 

hopefully soon i can get it repainted but i was gonna go with an old skool color... electron blue pearl that might look good i'm not sure if thats the color i want but i will definitely repaint it i got a lot of thing i wanna do to it exhaust, bagged, repaint, is just some of the things

 

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.

 

so far its at 2500 who knows though i keep changing my mind everytime i see it, i just wanted it to look as stock as possible and i think we got that!

 

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.

 

Lookin' good!! Gotta see the final product though...

 

can't wait! lol

 

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.

Good Luck with your project!

 

Looking good. It will be a one of a kind when done. Get the thing painted already. You have everyone glued to there computer screen.

 

^^ I just threw up in my mouth. That looks disgusting. He has like 12 degrees of camber lol. Yours look like they are turning out good tho.

 

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

 

ok whoa, i havent been on here much but i guess im missing a lot. when is this thing gona get done... i like fender flares as long as it's not too much. this looks good. get it painted and buffed and show us now!!?!?!?!?! =)

 

i think its hott and you get extra props for being unique. do what makes u happy

 

 

tell me about it! i miss my car... the guy is slackin, i understand its been my fault in the past cuz i kept making him change it but now its been sittin there in the same place ready to get painted in the past week and a half he was gonna paint it today but i looked out the window and its freakin snowing so i'm thinking this guy is gonna come up with another excuse i was hoping to get it done by this saturday cuz they got a drift/autocross/drag race/ car show event at the track here but i doubt i'll get to take my car

 

the tsx looks good with better pics!! imo, if you're gonna go vip theres no point in turbo or SC and i personally don't like body kits but it looks good as far as a show car goes

 

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

 

hurry up an get it finished... This I have to see!! It sounds like a sweet setup

 

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.

 

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 dont like it, i think the back is flared out way too much, but if u like it, then thats all that matters

 

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

 

any reason not to just roll the fenders?
