Ok, if it had the stock hood and was wingless, that car would actually look pretty good.

Anyway, to the point; unless you're stuffing 265 tires up front and 305's out back, there's no reason to have fender flares. 255's front and 285's rear will fit just nicely without any modification at all, and you can roll the fender for another 10mm of rubber ontop of that.

Alright, if you're going for 'the look' of fender flares, sure... go nuts. But I don't think it's easy to do with grace and elegance. If it's done cheaply, it'll look like ass... if it's done well, some will like it, some won't.

Personally, I think the money is better spent on the right offset wheels and obscenely good tires.

I'd guess a 7MGE. All show, no go. They probably went broke trying to make it look fast instead of actually doing things to the motor

I just looked at the list of people who said it looks good
big yoggz, Bock, empera, ERA, Mario, Mikael_7m

That is all

I have to agree w/the others they don't look good at all, but then again fender flares don't look good on most cars. For flares to work they have to follow the style of the body, yours and the AB-flugs are simply too smooth, to follow the lines of the MKIII. The Godfathers are the only ones that look halfway decent, and then they still only look half completed. If they tied into the rest of the body kit they wouldn't look that bad, and would look a lot better then the Ab-flugs.

basically what fucks up the whole idea of fender flares on a mkiii is the moldings.. thats why the godfathers look half completed- they stop at the moldings. and then most cars with shaved moldings i've seen dont look very good to me anyway.
