Default Flared rear fenders!!!LOOK!!!

A guy that runs SCN(S2000 Communications Network) in Japan got his rear fenders flared and widened the rear track (tread?).

Check it out. Personally, I think it looks very good, going well with it's original design. Also check out the detachable racing style steering wheel.

just clisck on the green metallic S2000, and you'll see the fenders.

Wow, I think it looks great!

Anybody have an idea what the toggle switch is for on the dash?

Looks like they're running 3rd gen RX-7 wheels.

I don't like it at all -- fender flares are totally out of character with the aesthetics of the design, in which every line is integated and smoothly connected. The fender flares disrupt the whole aesthetic scheme.

JMHO, it needs about 300mm more big bulbus flare for really big tires.

I agree with Rick. Some added flares look good on some vehicles. I don't think this is a good example.
