100% agree.
I guess I am providing the expected forum response. Hideously inelegant looking fenders on an LS430 are just plain silly, like an unfortunately ganked up 98 Civic with a 17 yo driver, clearly screaming for attention in all the wrong ways and egregiously FUGLY.

They aren't for me but I get the style they're going for.
With that in mind, I'm not a fan. the open rivets fit better more on trucks than VIP IMO, but most importantly that flare behind the front wheel looks like it was cut by hand with a set of tin snips in a boy scout summer camp. I'm not sure if they were going for a flame, a rocketship, a shark or a boob shape, but they didn't succeed at any of them.
Plus that really noticeable gap where the back piece connects to the rear door around the trim (as seen in the side profile pic) turns tacked on into tacky for me. If you're going to do something like this, at least put a little effort into making it fit right and tight.
Not hating on the style, just the execution.

You guys are being very kind.
Want monster size flames and huge rear fenders on an LS, you gotta have really wide tires to make it work. Leaving it black doesn't matter. That it not something that paint will hide anyway. Car looks pretty gangster.
