    I'm a big fan of buldge'd arch's, the first pic is so so much nicer that the wide arch kit.

    I personally prefur the wide arch kit over the bubble arches-i dont like the whole stuck on look.

    But its personal preference at the end of the day

    Both looks good fella, just depends which way you wanna go. I much prefer wide arches, just looks more agressive and makes the car look lower, wider and meaner from front and rear

    Dan your only saying that so i buy more stuff off you LOL

    Which is what i am going to do think i'll go back to my original plan and getting wider fenders so will be chucking the arches in the forsale section.

    i have to agree with dan wider arches IE full front wings and rear wings i my self think look better as this , i have started to do with mine just all you need to decide is what size ? 25 mm 30 or 50 i went middle figers and have not regreted doing it one bit.

    I might add they are stronger then you would think to trust me i proved that the other day after going through a pot hole and yes i said through lol the deepest one ive ever come across :S thinking id just ripped the front off my car and looking to find not even a scratch

    In my opinion bolt on arches are to wide 50mm, you can't win, if you fill the arch then it will look way to wide!!! an if you don't it looks to subtle almost factory! i would say flare all your arches. I've only seen a very few s13s with the front wings properly flared it looks almost GT like, you will get the extreme look but it won't look to wide

    rolled and flared stock arches, the only way you can pull off the over fenders or jun arches is if you've got proper hench wheels to fill them where as with flared stock arches you can go as much as you need to for the wheels unless of course you've already got the hench wheels to fill them.

    a good example I can think of is steve dunn's (they are farly hench 9.5 SSR's though I think)


    mine has been rolled and very slightly pulled and I'm running 17x8.5 all round with et20 at the back and et22 at the front,stock arches at the front.
