Default Little something to make the car perfect at least to me

First of all, I do not own an RC/RCF. I have a 3IS, but last week I put a part on my car that was not originally made for my car but for the JDM RCF which I think it makes my car look perfect. Since I have had my rear fender rolled and fulled, the rear fenders do look a little bit weird now. Although it's not that obvious I know it's there looking weird. Have always been thinking of finding a solution to fix that little bump that you have on ur rear fender after pulling them as shown below.


I have finally found a solution but I do not know if they work. I did it anyways, so here we come. I have received these parts from Japan







YES THEY ARE RCF REAR FENDER BLADES.

These parts do not fit on our car directly with 3M tapes as they do come with clips that are supposed to be clipped onto the RCF rear bumper, so I went ahead and trimmed those clips off.



After trimming the clips off, it's super easy to put on as just 3M tape. Aligned with the rear fender and bumper and install them. They do not flow with the IS body 100% but I can accept the imperfection. Here come the result.

I bought them $135 shipped from a Japan supplier. They are not expensive parts but shipping killed the deal. I did ask my supplier in Japan he said bulk order would bring the cost down. If anyone interested in a group buy I can open a thread to start one.

It Definitely looks better, but what exactly is the purpose of them (is it strictly for cosmetics)? also, if it's coming from Japan it usually takes 3-4 wks. just to get it. That's what Sux on these cars is it takes sooooo long to get the Good Stuff!

I got them through air. About 5 business days. These are stock parts. Yes just for cosmetic maybe some aerodynamic purpose lol

For those who have the RCF, I dont know why the US/Canada RCF only has this little piece at the rear bumper, but this is how the JDM RCF look which i think they look way better.


While the US RCF...
