Why does the one on the right look larger? Is it the angle of the camera? Just wondering.

Yeah, that does the trick. Hard to retrofit rear fender flares though, unless you happen to be Chris.

No it's just the angle of the picture. Identical cars in the first pic, but they still look generic if you ask me.

The flares look good. I'm not so sold on the hood. It's not horrible, but looks like it belongs on a Dodge Challenger or a Chevy Camaro. jm2c

It's a shame they didn't do the wide flares for the 2018 refresh.

Flares look OK but that hood has got to go. Looks tacky.
