Will aftermarket front fenders without rear fenders look silly?

Who the hell do you think you are???!?!?

Just kidding. I was going to go with the FNs, but I changed my mind for a few reasons.

First off, a LOT of people have the FNs. (They are inexpensive and they fit well.). I wanted something to set me off from the rest. (except for that rat bastard from PA that copied me! LOL). The car is being used as a showcar for my company, so I value that.

Secondly, I got them for a really good price, so it was worth it to me to spend the extra cash.

As for my fitment comment, I was mainly talking about Rishie's help in choosing the best fitment with whatever setup you have. (i.e. wider fenders, certain tire choices, etc.)

Now stop making comments like that and I'll actually compliment your car. LOL.

I think the Works and the 5Zigens both look good.

Although, I'm partial to my babies:

17x9 +28 are the ones I already have for the rear, and I stole them on ebay for $99 each.

The other two will be 17x9 +15 and they're like $375/each new.

lol, thats the best reason... I'd put some CCW / Work / Volk / BBS / HRE / etc, on a company showpiece! yeah, everyone has FN's already, thats true... doesnt bother me in the least but its true.

I'm stoked there are some good widebody FC's coming out to play this year.. its about time we didnt have to spend $2000+ to get a nice kit on the car.

You don't need to add rear fender to match the fronts, Mariah makes the fronts to allow running the same size tire all around in a size that normally wouldn't fit in back. Our cars already understeer a bit, you don't need lots of rear tire unless you're making lots of power.

-> where did you get those flash-to-pass things? thoses are hot hot hot. I'm about to just take mine out but yours look pretty clean so yeah let me know
