i dont like the fab design kit for the coupe. only thing i like is the wing. the rest of the stuff looks like add-ons. doesnt look clean.

I think your rim would look too far in. I know that when they do a real wide body they order wider rims with crazy offsets to make the wheel fill the fender.

But I'm with 'pshek' , and think the kit is far from looking clean, I don't like it at all (just my 2 cents).

I have a coupe but I think the FAB design is a lil too tacky... the fenders on the "kineda mobile" looks good I think...

In the market
what are this little flame looking thing behind the fender flares all about

i am looking at some wide body fenders this coming summer, but i think I will have mine custom fabbed at a body shop. I just don't like the aftermarket flares to much.

but i agree with Belle. unless you are trying to do a crazy wide wheel where you need the widebody, i would leave it alone

IMHO

I think what they were trying to do is to have their own version of the Lorinser flares...Look closer at it and the 'fins' are prety identical to Lorinsers however instead of having the fins integrated into the front quarter pannel, they just have the add-on that way its 'theirs' and its different. But with some work, this kit would look alright if MOLDED, that I think is the key!

The side skirts come up short

The front and rear bumpers don't look bad. It's the fender side skirts that look like something that a tuned up Acura might sport. Living in Miami, I see the most outlandish body work on import cars, and it makes me think very carefully about modifying my car with taste.

There is a car in my complex that has spinning rims which are worth far more than the piece of crap Pontiac they are mounted to.
