I think the car is sweet. The front bumper might be a little to ricy for me but if it makes you happy, who cares what we say. I do like those front fenders, oh yeah, the shot of the rear is cool too.

All in all I like the car as a whole a lot. Wagons are bad *** for sure and your body kit looks good.

i've always liked wagons with flared fenders. makes it much more aggressive.

If your intention was to create uniqueness without going overboard, I think you've done it... It's definitely a custom look... Looks modified/personalized without being overly flashy

From a personal standpoint it looks unbalanced, given the flared front versus the stock rear... Given my "less is more" kind of flavor, I dislike the way the front bumper sits so far out..., had it been nearly flush with the headlights, it would have complemented the body much more... then maybe if you fabricate flares for the rear, it would balance it out?

The pieces youve chosen are nice... however, looking at the car as a whole, its just not MY type of thing the way they come together... but thats exactly why its not me, but you that's standing next to it

Just my opinion, enjoy your ride

Talking

Well...having the back flared out is a future project that’s going to take a lot more time...and a lot of my patients that I just didn’t have after losing her for two months. In all...I think she came together a lot better then I thought she would have. I understand what you mean about the front and the fenders...but honestly...if I would have had the front made any shorter it wouldn’t have flowed with the lines on my hood as well as it does now...
Thank you for you input

Damn it... Youre right! The hood lines, do flow better... (shrugs)

Goodluck with the rear end!
