PICS: Diffuser and mini-widebody action for you....
Diffuser - custom silver CF, gloss cover, Vorsteiner / Evosport. Came out very nice.
Custom mini widebody kit (all metal, 1" wider, looks OEM. Easily fit 295/25/20 PS2s on Radenergie wheels at any height... have almost an inch of free space on inside, can expand to wider wheels and tires. Stance and handling much improved. Front fenders merely rolled... 255/35/20 in front. $2200 job, including repaint of both quarter panels. Looks VERY slick and retains classy angles and lines of car.
Wish I had Ling around to take better pics!
Looks way better in person! Ling, I need some lessons....

No, only snapped these quick shots... more later. I can fit 305s right now... the 295 PS2s are actually wider than most 295s... more like 305s. If I got wider wheels (which i'm not, these are perfect) I could stuff 315s in there. But the point of the project was to naturally fit in 295/20s with ample space on both sides for dips, high speed compression, etc. I can punch it lowered in comfort mode and go straight as an arrow... no rubbing, no sliding. I'm really glad I did it. The front fenders are almost the same size... just rolled from the inside very gently.

Did they paint the whole rear fender along with the side of the roof lines all the way to the front or they just blended it where it needed?

They painted the entire quarter panel, all the way to the front windshield... its the only way to make it perfect.
The wheels with the 295s on them stuck out a half inch past the stock fender before the project. That's how big the change is. Its why JRocket had to shave the inside of these wheels to get the 285s to fit in.
They literally unwelded and rewelded where the quarter panel mounts... and didn't just stretch the immediate area close the tire... the entire buldge is a continuous incline up a couple inches higher than a stock 55. That's why it looks so OEM, rather than some add on lip. The bumper is stock... some cutting and pulling out and the reattaching to keep the angle stock looking too. But you can tell its at its limits.
If you look at stock side by side with it, you can see the bumper stretching out, the bulge is larger and a steeper angle, etc. I love how stock it looks, that's the best part.

Yes, the standard color is black carbon. Silver was an option.
See here for our project car with black carbon...
