Function keeps the shy away! Looks pretty good to my eyes, but $1900, outch. It would probably look even better paint matched.

The fenders are a little too wide.

I like it better than the rocket bunny because the arches smooth all the way down, but yes there can be improvements.

To me it looks like it belongs in "Death Race". Slap a few missile launchers and machine guns to the hood and it'll destroy this

Hello!

We do have images of the fenders color-matched and displayed alongside with our BRZ Aero Lip kit.

Correct. These wide body fenders were intended for a Drift / Track Scion FR-S, first shown on Pat Cyr's Scion FR-S:
The ones you see earlier in this topic are the BRZ versions. Here is the FR-S version.

OK, I've been staring this one down, and i realized why these kits never looked quite right to me. I can only assume this, but all the ones I see applied are slammed and have their wheels tucked, which to me sort of defeats the purpose of fitting bigger fenders. If they're tucked don't they have a greater chance of rubbing on the fenders when you're tracking?

If that's the case then the only think I can see these things being useful for are those HELLAFLUSH cars

i mean look at the Super GT BRZ


1st off, I know it's an actual race car and not a standard car modified to race but I figure the same rules would apply. when it comes to racing (i.e. you don't want your wheels to catch)

There is a noticeable gap between the wheels and the fenders because the tires are wider and they don't want them too catch.

So I have to ask, is this kit for looks or is for actual track cars?

TL;DR Form over function

I really like these ML24 designs. Might be standing alone here, but they're fairly comparable to the Rocket Bunny, and to me; they look a little better. Though the front lip could be made a tad bit smaller.

Negative camber actually improves grip as it maximizes the contact patch of the outside tires in a corner. It's widely popular in drifting for more controlled sliding. So yes, the hellaflush look does have functionality to it but the "Stancenation" does take it too far sometimes.

More parts = more weight for our little boxer to move.
