I was looking at a thread on tuners a while back and it sparked a picture I remembered I had in my "vault of cool DSMs pictures" (yes there is such a thing ) Couldn't find it before, but finally found it today! Figured I'd share: It works amazingly well with a 1ga, not so sure about the 1gb, as I always felt the 1gb was more a friendly face (front wise) so wouldn't work well with fender flares. Fender flares usually look good on aggressive looking cars, hence the angular 1ga Enjoy!

I like the fender flares, I was actually trying to dig up this picture after seeing deeps post. I think I may look at doing some flares, and the ones on this car a just the right amount. Anyone know what car they are for?
I will say this is one of my favorite 1gs, most of the things that were done to this car were for performance enhancement. I would also love to know what front bumper that is!

Personally on a 2g, I'd rather see the fenders rolled instead of the fender flares, but that's just me. The body lines for that car speak for themselves, no need to add extra plastic.

LOL. well after reading that thread you posted this pic in, it seems they are 240 flares. As for the bumper I guess I will continue my search. It actually looks a lot like my old rear bumper

Thanks G. But I dont think I wanna pull the light out everytime. I think the Aircraft gascaps are good. What can I do for the doors ? In terms of shaving the handles or getting them to look flush? You said you want to use the stock GSX spoiler with a wider body? IMO I think it will look gimpy and way too small. Westwing makes a very similar spoiler that I think might flow better with the wide body. http://www.everythingeclipse.com/19...d-light-wings-west-591393l-p-334375.htmlJust a thought That link doesn't open. I want to keep it as stock and widebody as possible. I was even looking at using 2gb sideskirts but I dont think it will work and will mess up the lines. Edit: That kit the red one has is the same kit with some modifications. I don't like how that looks though.
