The J's Racing blister fender kit is 40mm (1.57 inches) wider than stock. What size wheels do you think you'd need to make it look right?

Do you guys know if you can use the OEM bumper with the J's fender kit, or do you need the J's bumper?

Work S1 3piece with a +37 offset up front would be perfect

J's will be too wide for your application. Cwest will run you about $2000 in paint/labor. Spoon still looks kinda fugly. ASM is baller status. Varis GT should go good with your application, not too aggressive looking but functional and affordable. Good luck on your decision.

You can use the oem bumper with the J's fenders. They come with extensions that mount on the fender and your bumper. You would have to drill some holes on your bumper though. My friend had that set up with an AP1 bumper.

faukengenius, what do you think of the quality and fitment of the fender? Did it need a good amount of prep-work?
