Default Aimgain's wide flare for ISF

saw this on their instagram. ive posted about widening the rear fenders of the ISF to match the aggressive front fenders for about a year now. its not simple or cheap so ive been contemplating go back and forth on the idea. I like how the e90 m3 sedans rear fenders look. subtle but very aggressive.

saw Aimgain International post this on their account today. i really want to see the final outcome. this might be a cheaper option from what ive been quoted by a good shop that i trust. might not be better looking but will need to see more pics to find a verdict. i know im not the only person who wants wider rears.

yeah im pretty excited. the ISF always and will have the lines for rocket bunny type kits but im sure they were scared about the market for people buying them. wheels will be so much easier to shop now. so much easier.

whoa.................................. I can run 19x14's rears now lol

edit: nvm, saw the rendering of the widebody.. it makes the car too round after fitting their front fenders on.

I like the 360 radius on Novel's ISF. keeps the body lines in check.

I know we all dont know pricing yet, but I would assume $2k+ for the side skirts and rear flares alone. I dont know what your shop charges, but ~$2k plus body work (hack fenders) plus paint, would be about the same price as custom work (from shops i use). Aimgain definitely would be easier since theyre made for the car though

Either way, would love to see some F guys jump on this when it's released and run some wider tires & wheels out back!

Lol this is more for looks to get larger lips only. Stock fenders are proven to fit up to 12 wide and 305 tires. With that, I don't mind more aggressive fender flares though

They must be rolled or pulled like crazy because I rub like crazy on dips at stock height with 20x10.5 +45 rims and sit on 285/25/20 tires.

rolled fenders are perfectly normal for quarter panels since its a thick metal panel.. with that being said. Mine is just rolled and I run 12's on 305's.

Thats pretty impressive! I gotta find someone to roll my fenders, everyone I spoke to said they wouldn't touch it because there are two layers that join right there and that it can rust or separate or something along those lines?

This wide body kit still requires you to cut your quarter panels tho right? How else would you fit larger wheels back there?
