While I'm impressed with the work you put into the Stang, I'll have to agree that the fender flares just don't do it. They look so "add on"and don't blend with the bodys style. They look so exaggerated.

I like the concept and where it is going but I am not a wide body fan but the motor and suspension is amazing!

All in all it looks good, ill wait to comment unitil you get more pictures up, One questions i had was if this is considered a "wide body kit" then how come your only running a 20x10 with a 275 tire? I would think if you wanted to sell this concept youwould be able to geta 20x11 or 20x12 custom rim with a 300 + series tire on it, IMO.

I have to be honest and agree with all you guys on the flares, your are dead right. When I first saw the kit not painted, I thought the same as you did. The thing is, the 3D Carbon flares are the best to flow with the stock fenders on the Mustang, BUT we thought we would try something different that not everyone has. All the Mustang kits are pretty much played out, and you have to do something a bit different to be different. Once all the vynal goes on the cars and I can get some better shots to do the kit justice, we all can make our final verdict. Thanks for your honest thoughts, and not holding back your true feeling. We should be going to Mustang Week, All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, NMRA, NHRA, etc. on down the line. Love to meet some of your guys out their, see the car in person and see what you think their. Tell you this much, it does look a hell of a lot better in person, seriously.

I would venture to say you are right in that it will look better in person instead of in a garage and the angles of the pics are not to flattering to say the least. Get more pics up here when she is done and the fact that she is a stang is alright by me. Thanks for sharing and keeping cool about some of the comments about the car. J

With metal anything is possible, I def don't see y its not possible. You'd still need a widebody front bumper and rear bumper so it all flowed together.

I think that it could look better if the fender flares were more smoothed into the car. As it looks in these pictures, it looks really choppy. It looks like it just juts out from theside of the car, giving it too much of a 'hey i just bolted this onto the sides of my car' look. To really pull it off, it has to be more smooth IMO.

As for the motor & suspension work...... I am lovin it...... Hopefully the underside of my car looks like that in a little while.

But the car has alot of potential if you can work out smoothing that fender flare thing out.....
