Default Lexon fender flares

Just wondering what people's opinions are in this front fender.

Something like that would probably look better on an isf b/c of it's more round profile.

Get rid of the rivet-work and couple it with the AimGain rear fender flare...MONEY!

Meh. Not a fan of the rivets or the unfinished look. The 2is has very smooth lines and flow, the Frankenstein look does not do the 2is justice.

Not my taste. Agree with VTsuckah in that it reminds me of Frankenstein. Widebody work at a body shop > Lexon fender flare.

If there was a nice body kit to go along with it, I'd be a strong maybe... The rivets have to go though!

Where did you get this picture? I've been waiting for the ISX50 version to come out. They told me it would be released this month. Do you have anymore pics?

I agree that your build has to fit the kit to make it work.
