make sure you cut open the wheel fender in the wheel well to maximize flow and spray rockchips on your doors.

I used to be all for fenders, but im kind of on the fence about them now. The only ones that flow really nicely with out car are the ones from Aimgain . The artisan ones are okay, but are a little to crazy with the lines. Bran new is very subtle, but the placement of the vent seems a little off to me.

Looks really good!! Can't wait to see the end product. I really like how the top of the vent flows with the body lines of the door.
