      What rear spoiler is that?
      They are the only photos I have. I actually got them from another forum member about a year ago.

      Um, This one.


      Them wheels are rota grids. Back when all they made was 4x114.3 so he is running adapters. Thats the reason for the flares.

        I LOVE this look! I do believe I'm going to have to roll my fenders out like this. I'm slowly ruining my fenders by my tires constantly hitting them.

          that looks like a good ol' fashioned bodyshop fender pull job to me. i don't understand buying a pre-formed flare and molding to the car. i'd rather rework the arches on the car for a custom finish and fix the god awful front fender being bigger than the rear bullshit.

                    What kind of tools would you need to pull the fenders? I probably won't do it since I have 14 inch wheels, but it would be cool anyways.

                        They are probably painted diamond racing wheels.

                            It was up for sale, but it never got sold. My friend recently got plastic bumpers and those are going on soon! New pictures to come very soon!

                            Here is a picture during the flare process:
