Looks nice. Surprisingly, I don't mind the fenders all that much.
EDIT
Are your door handles black? Why?

Looks awesome jayi12! I think the fenders compliment your wheels real nice. smile.gif I didn't care for those fenders also, but when done right it turns out great! The color rocks too!!
looks good man, one thing red out those turns. Check out my profile to see wut i mean.

yeah, I hadn't thought about the turns, the next thing is jdm tails. What is the exact paint you guys use to red the turns again?

Thanks for posting the pic wannabe, the handles are black because when they were red they faded horribly so I just took them out and sprayed them.

thanks for the comments guys, I've been waiting to do this forevar

where did you get the wheels?

what size?

the wheels are just white motegi mr7s (17x7) I painted them bronze a long time ago. They don't look to great in the pic, but they actually look nice in person(aside from the curbings). I also went up from the 205 diameter to the 215 tire.

put some OEM rear splitters on there, you'd be set.

I will return one day.
Looks nice. I bet it feels good to have it done. I am ready to be there. The only thing that isn't my taste is the fenders but thats really just me.

looks nice..

btw, is it just me or does the door look kinda small?

the door looks weird because of the fender, kind of an optical illusion. idk if i like that fender much, idk it's just too "busy" and takes away from the sleekness of the car

honestly I know the fenders aren't everyone's bag, but in person I think you'd see that the fenders do kinda flow with the lines of the car. I do however think that it does create a little illusion, it kinda makes the front of the car look longer, making the doors look smaller.

on a side note last night someone broke into the car and stole my cds!!! they tried to get the headunit but I guess something scared them off. Funny thing is I got them on tape and now have their address from a friend at the dmv. Another funny thing is, right before I looked at the tape, I questioned them in the parking lot about it. Nothing is broken, they just picked the lock and took the cds. The alarm must have scared them enough to only take the cds. They left the system and everything in.

Looks nice, but I would add a spoiler and some extensions on the rear. But even if you don't, you did a great job.
looks good. finish out the rear and your all set.

planning on some extensions for the rear and some jdm tails. I would have them by now, but I've spent 4g on the car since the summer, alot of it was repairs. I'm pretty wiped out
