I have seen them in person and they look good both in quality and fitment. It won't look like one of those Honda civics with the huge gap on one side of the bumper. I'm looking a getting some next year.

if they didn't want the pics to get out, well, don't post them on the int4rw4b and leave the directory open for the photo host. Shall I post more?
No dude....respect for me. You didnt respect my request to not post here until i knew if it was alright. It's probably alright by them to post the pics...but i wanted to make sure first. Somehow you took it upon yourself to disregard my request and posted the pic before i asked them (which wouldnt have taken very long considering...)

No, there arent going to be any consequences...and its not really a big deal. And yah, there are lots more pics that you could post that are in our forum. Heck, there are lots of big future plans that people would be interested in over there that we share with you. I just wanted you to give me time to make sure it was alright...out of respect.

Stop trying to be such an internet bully, and just respect the requests of others. You arent impressing anyone.

It's fine...but anyone would admit that posting the pic and posting the link are very different. For the most part people are less likely to click the link and scroll down the page to look at the pic (i have been doing this in forums long enough to have seen this trend very often)

But anyways...like i said already, its not that big of a deal. I just wanted to ask first. So let's stop the little argument and continue with discussion of the fenders

Take a closer look - that black part in between the wheel arch trim and the A-panel isn't tape - it's an opening. Also, do you see the new horizontal bodyline halfway down the A-panel?

It doesn't jump out at you in a two-dimensional photograph, but the entire lower half of the panel is recessed when compared to the stock panel, to provide the air vent between the panel and the wheel trim.

I think it looks pretty good, although it's a little strange to see the edge of the wheel trim just hanging out there in space.

By giving a path for the air to escape from the engine bay, you will decrease any lift up there and thus increase grip.

It's also cosmetic at the same time.

Here is a recomendation, before anyone posts new info on future items, get the permission first so than this situation doesn't happen. Though it has been on µ for a bit, most NAMmers don't go there.

I am digging those fenders I may have to get a set of those for the heat here in MD. I wonder if M7 will have an option to be paint matched.

RallyMINI just posted when I was posting. I was hoping it was also going to help with heat reduction form the engine bay.

its not going to do anything for removing heat from the engine bay.

Even without any fender liner at all, the engine bay is still isolated from the wheel wells. these will be for lowering pressure under and in the fenderwell to reduce lift, if i had to make an educated guess.

yah.....my guess would be that heat won't be lowered enough to make any large differences. It's more of a lift reduction thing. And to many...a looks thing
