The black rubber trim is something we wanted to try out, my body shop guy will be trying something else in the next few days, narrower along the flares.

These are my show/daily cruising wheels, I do plan on getting track wheels so I can go back out on the track beating the shit out of my car.
Nice to see what this looks like on a car!

The rears look good from the front quarter shot

One thing that would make this thing flow better is if the flares interacted with (or covered) the lines between body panels better. I like where it's going though. Great fitment on the wheels

Not bad but looks a little too tacked on for my taste. I want to see it with track wheels.

Ah I see. Maybe try a lighter color stripping? I think there is a grey stripping honda used for the OEM lip for lighter colors like white that may blend better. The black line is just so noticeable and ends up looking like a gap which translates to the part not looking like it fits well. Is the transition was less noticeable it would look better (at least to my eyes). Are the wheels plated or powder coated?

Your avatar was my reaction.

In my opinion, there are other flares out there that "flow" with the car a lot better than these. These just look tacked on and completely out of place.

If they were completely smooth (no-rivet look) and didn't seem to stop so abruptly, they'd look better. As of right now, they look like doo-doo.

This. Would be very upset if I waited a year or more for these.

Having an opinion that differs from yours makes us haters. K. Keep on innovating, you're an inspiration. Better?

If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all. It's generally a pretty standard rule to abide by.

Nothing wrong with having a "differing" opinion. It's when you share it that you turn into a hater... If it's negative, then it should at least be helpful or constructive, otherwise it's safe to lump one's differing opinion in the "hater" category. This is especially true since no where in the thread did he ask for anyone's opinion along the lines of "what do you think?"

Rather, he just stated that he was going to start a new build thread and share more pictures...

I generally stay out of the vast majority of build threads since I have nothing positive to add to them.

Of course this is just my "OPINION" on what a "hater" is...

Carry on
