It's a nice look, but I believe a vendor here listed the total parts package for one of these, and it's way too much for my liking. Honestly it would probably be about the same for a reputable body shop to cut the fenders and make it a true widebody. The front has a 3IS look, which some have thought about doing to the IS F, and one was executed subtly for SEMA, but I like the distinct lines of the IS F in stock form, especially the front.

Its a couple years too late. The widebody hype is still out there but after this years Sema, the widebody look is getting old.

Aimgain creates new body lines and goes a little over the top (typical aimgain flashy look kind of like Mansory).. I would of liked it to be less aggressive and more sporty/track like RWB/LW

That thing looks to be like 4+" wider each side in the rear. That's twice the acceptable clean line wbk in my own opinion. Then again, all of these new tacked/riveted on JDM wbk are getting out of hands. They all belong on show cars only. LW is just as outrageous with all of their cars. If I ever go wide, I would just keep the bodyline and widen the rear fenders to 1.5-2" each side and call it a day. Metal is the only option for me too.

Just read the article and they said it's 70mm wider on each side, wow the crazy non molded and fake rear side vents make it seems wider than 70mm

My brother-in-law just texted me this picture and said I should entertain this. I just don't dig these rivet-type wide body kits. I just told him I rather keep my "sleeper" looks of my ISF. I.E. I'm just getting all the power bolt-ons and a little bit of suspension work to really make my car a fun daily driver/track monster.

The fenders look like spray on insulation for a house. The hella flushy crowd will love it but I think its horrible. But to each its own.

Wasn't a fan when the first LBW **** came out and hate it even more so that it's completely played out.

Worst part is, it's completely unnecessary. They put these kits on cars that already have the ability to run much wider wheels than from the factory.

Seeing a LBW E92M at SEMA two years ago with double stacked spacers in the rear to flush the tires made me pretty much hate all these slap on over fender kits.

Like said, an inch or maybe two metal fabricated wider fender or leave it stock.

I dig the front bumper. I feel they just coppied the outline of a Wald rear. Also cost WAYYY too much for my liking.

LBW isnt played out.. the look has been shown on all media platforms but socal is home to probably the most wide body vehicles out there.. and not once have I seen a LBW car that isn't owned by LBW themselves.

Some of my friends have a rocket bunny kit, outside of theirs.. I haven't seen it on the road. Just because its portrayed online doesn't mean its common.

Not my preference at all. I think it looks really tacky.
