I dont think fender flairs are too necessary since it the car will camber out and fit well when lowered. I think a bodykit will complement the empty sides though.

Btw, are those ssr gt3's?

I love your wheels and the fitment is !

Just add a moderate body kit, the roads in NY are not forgiving.

Thanks guys.. I lowered it moderate, eibach springs and tokico struts and shocks.. the wheels are ssr gt3.. from a mustang.. they are 10.5 rear and 9.5 fronts.. i am running 245/40/18 fronts & 255/35/18 rear. i have 275/35/18 in garage.. but they make it rub.t he fitment i have is perfect for not rubbing .. I wanted fender flares to make it not rub with the wider tires. i would like a POLY body kit not a fiberglass..
OH. I tried the plastix by muguiers.. on head lights,, it works amazing. saved me money on buying new lights.. no more haze( ok, just a little.)

Your car looks great man. I say roll your fenders a little and put on a body kit. I'm not sure if any company makes a poly kit thought except for the oem conversion. Correct me if i'm wrong.
