First time seeing this. Awesome job on doing something different.

I think and everything silver paint job with Black flares would look 10x better. I think with this Old School style you need the black flares.

Looks Awesome congrats.

Wow.... Someone needs to make these flares for the Z crowd. This looks amazing! How much of your fender did you have to trim out?

Turned out pretty damn good! I like it from every angle except the front-quarter....IMO the front bumper needs to be widened (is that even possible?) or somehow flared out a bit to match the front fender flares. Right now the flares taper in so much it kind of looks a bit awkward to me.

A+ for something new though. I like the flares in black as they are. No color match necessary. Although I do think it would be a good idea when you get your front bumper paint color corrected to also paint the front lip section to match the chrome silver. But leave the grille surround and canards black as they are.

Damn Zerostyle I'm feeling the way those photoshops look. Oddly enough a euro shop did the work and if you want some there called Eurowise located here in Charlotte Nc.

+1, I probably wouldn't run them, but it looks great. It could also be the answer to the high HP FI guys who need/want to run wider tires.
