I now see what y'all are talking about ....I'm waiting on a quote right now for just flaring my fenders 2.5" not quite as extreme and its not the whole fender like Shelby did... Although I like Shelby's more....

Reminds me of what Koenig did to 928s, Testarossas and 560SECs back in the 80s.

Not a bad look.............but not for me.

I just don't like how it goes from fat, to skinny at the doors, and back to fat at the rear. It just looks weird, and i think that whole rear bumper is gonna get absolutely destroyed without some sort of mud flaps.
The apr looks like autozone ricer crap

I completely disagree. I think they widened the whole car, whereas Shelby just widened the fenders...which looks awkward to me. They make a lot of race parts, so don't confuse that with riced out street parts...I'd take this all day:

I'm the opposite.

Who wants wider doors?

The hour glass shape is better. Reminds me of the wide body JBA Capri I should have bought a few years ago.

I'm a fan. I wish they would have used the CS rear as well. Sometimes widebodies can be too much but this one is clean.

I love it. Much better than the APR that looks like it came off the set of Fast and Furious. The Shelby one looks like a proper flared fender kit. And the coke bottle shape is classic, wihtout a box flare look like the Koenig/AMG stuff on that Mercedes.


Wonder how that would look on a convertible?

Um, saw it in person on a couple of Shelby's, looks FUGLY. Looks like a Camaro met a Mustang drunk one night and they had this.
Of course everyone has different tastes.
