The last pic in the original post shows exactly why I could never own the RB kit...rock chips. The rear cutouts are great for racecars because it lets air escape the wheel well, but the RB kit has cutouts in the front as well which os silly, you just cause air to get jammed up in the wheel well and also destroy any aerodynamic advantage the rear cutouts might afford. I understand that this is a kit purely for looks with the only advantage being the ability to run much wider tires so its fine for that.
I am with the crowd that wants a fully fendered kit for the sake of actual aerodynamic benefit and to keep the rock chips to a minimum. I have seriously considered just having a body shop do some one off custom fabbing to the car since no manufacturer seems to want to cater to my taste for widebody kits. |

Take a closer look at the lines, it actually is an average job.
It looks like certain sections of the kit needs to be trimmed off then flow the original lines onto it.. Otherwise you get weird bulges before you even get to the wide part... |

@Supermassive I saw a full fendered wide-body kit on here by m124 or something. It's $1899 fenders only. I like it a lot for the issues you presented.

If they put a ducktail without that wing I think it will look super clean

i like it but maybe they should have left a gap in the panels without any rivets or maybe just in that little part that attaches to the front bumper without the rivets
