Ok, I'll be odd man out. Don't like it. Maybe it's the photo but right now it looks too squat to me. A little out of perspective.

The front looks like nothing was done and I think that hurts as well.

I'll reserve final judgement until I see a full side/3/4 shot, but now......Don't like it one bit.

They re-fab'd the rear fenders to make them widebody and fit in larger wheels (I can't remember, I think it's 11's or 12's). Nothing was done to the front fenders afaik.

There was a little work to the front; they have the OEM aero front lip and seem to have painted the reflectors as well as gone with a matte black grille and different angel eye/fog lights.

that rear fender just makes the car look like it's sagging with fat....

definitely not my thing as far as that photo goes.

I want to like this car's exterior so much but it looks like the metal melted in the heat and is sagging

I love it . This car looks more like the autobaun burner it is with this set up.

You know, I am going to agree I am not a huge fan of the larger rear fenders. Maybe it's because I look at one day in and day out, but I like the proportions it has a lot. I think a subtle lowering does a lot, but it doesn't really need the exaggerated wells. Makes it look a little porky. I do think it will look good from the rear.
