Default Black Magician Fenders.

Hey guys, been looking to do some mods to my LS. I don't know about you guys, but i have fallen in love with this new VIP-GT style that is starting to pick up some wind. These are some of the first VIP-GT fenders i have came across. What do you guys think of em?

Pictures are too large to attach, please view the link.

Let me know what you guys think.

Levi.

Personally I just hate to touch the body with any ideas. I see it perfectly done the way it is.

GL though

The front looks off, maybe due to the shape and design. The rear isnt that bad. reminds me of the rocket bunny kit.

I think they would flow a lot better with paint... i personally wish the rear had more flare to it... seems dull compared to the front.

I think it will look pretty clean after a color match to the car..
It will blend more..

I think they look ridiculous. But if you like them and want to share them I'm with you. It's great to see something different. I would definitely paint them to match first.

If the rivet holes on the fenders aren't fully sealed, rust will take over.
