Updated Pics and plan:

I have smoothed out most of the waves and took extra care and time to make sure they are almost perfectly even, But its still Not enough, It still rubs so bad over the smallest bumps. Im forced to stray away from my stock body mentality and run some K&M missile 50mm rear over fenders and 25mm origin fronts, thats whats in the works now!!

This way i can slam it down as low as i can go and still drive the thing!

(My opinion only) I really liked your older set up. I like that you're planning on a fender extension though. To me, it looks like an old Maxima with a bunch of Mexicans crammed in it.

Kudos for doing your thing.

yeah man, i hear ya. Like iv stated over and over again. These cars have an Outstanding Presence about them. I have now flared and pulled that presence and it doesnt flow at all

once the Rear over fenders are on im going to be doing alot of cutting and rewelding to extend my rear fender wells into the over fenders. That way when the car is fully lowered on the bags the wheel will tuck up ever so slighlty into them with no fear of rubbing as for the fronts im tubbing those and will be running a 25mm Dmax style ender, slighlty more sporty with the vents and what not but still tastefull and functional. Only time will tell where this goes to because Jebus knows, im just winging it right now

Good idea, K&M will look great.

Can I put in one request? PLEASE extend the gas door to be flush with the body. PLEASE? It will look so much better.
That's my only gripe about the K&M. Don't you already have a set btw?

Haha, well, there are plenty of people on this board who will jizz their pants over it as is.

I like that you're going the extra mile for a classy, and (IMO) more proper look.

Nice stance. Can't wait to see pics of car after fenders are installed.

A bit off topic but where can one find those K&M Missle overfenders to buy? Having a hard time finding any info on them
