Yep that would be me. Your car turned out very nice by the way. Send me a link to your build thread and/or more pics of your car sometime.

They're already rolled flat all the way around and I had to slightly pull the fronts. After the front pull the paint is starting to chip on the very bottom of the front fender lip, which 12 year old paint is probably unavoidable. We used a heat gun and kept the paint warm during the roll too. So the chipping combined with a less than perfect pull (a little wavy, nothing too bad) and I hate little imperfections, make me want to get the DF fronts.

does it look odd, when looking down the side of the car, having the front wide and the rear normal?

It's hardly noticeable. I'd bet that it you had them done w/o telling anyone, it would take a while before people began to ask questions haha...

My other option is to rework the OEM metal fenders by a friend of mine who works at a body shop. I think I'd rather have the DF so I wouldn't have the car in the shop for a few weeks.
