I don´t know if this been said, but there are model specific bolt on flares in the style of OP. They go really nice around the moulding and such.

I kinda like the modified angle on the sport lip. I don't suppose you have a side shot of it, do you?

but that's just my preference.

Agreed sir! So what kit is on his FC? I used to drool over his car when I was on this forum before I parked my car for a little bit. I've got her back up and running, and that FC (and Justin Pawlak's) are still my 2 favorites!
