Okay, I am posting this question here and in my build thread, because I really just need some advice on what looks best. This thread is frequented by lots. Im going wide body, but am not happy with any of the kits that are out there. The full Veilside kit I only like the front fenders on which I found a set, and will most likely be purchasing. The shops around town quoted me 8-15k to do a metal wide body on the rears which is just insane. It shouldn't be more than 1500 for the metal work. I don't even need paint since I plasti dip my car currently. NOW, here is my question. I like the look of the fender flares. I know some love them or them, but I live in Oregon so you won't ever even see my car. But I am getting the veil side front fenders. I may just use rear flares. Anywho here are some photo shops of what I may be doing.

If I only do the fender flares it will look like this but with a APR spoiler…



With the Veilside front fenders this is kinda how if may look

no spoiler




With the APR spoiler



What do you guys think about it? If I went full wide body I would grab knock off APR rear fenders and frankenstein my own kit together….. Any help is wanted.
I have different wheels and a few other small different pieces.

The look he was going for was "Like a tank." If you want to run the APR, go with the rivets IMO. It is a look that works together.

I guess "like a tank" is what I'm going for haha. I just like the exposed rivet bolt on look. I will most likely be picking up the flares and the Veilside fenders, that way I have the option.

if you want the veilside fenders I would say get the APR rears or just figure out how to get a metal widebody done. To me the riveted thing only works if you got em all around. just my .02.

If I were to do the apr rears, there wouldn't be a need to do a metal widebody. You do either or.
