Just drove to Massachusetts and back after work. Got back about 4:30AM. I picked up Euro Bumpers and an OEM Mech1 Body kit… Here’s an example of these items on a black car (use your imagination and picture the fender flares on it)
 
Body kit looks like this… i think it will look even sweeter w/ the flares!:
