Default Nasioc gc8

I'm not sure how many are aware of this gc8 from the nasioc forums as I did a search and found no threads here.

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1795436

I'm loving the custom flares and the carbon lip. Makes the car look much more aggressive and mean. Although the 18x10 wheels look a little crazy from the rear view. I'm contemplating doing something similar to my gc8 to make it a little more unique and achieve a similar aggressive look. Has anyone had any experience at this and knows or workshop that could do such a thing with the flares? Please dont show me a do-it-yourself thread somewhere as I want it to look professional! Also does anyone know where you can get a lip like that? I've looked with no luck.

What would your opinions be on such a thing? I'm just going through ideas atm as I want to make the car look better cosmetically (word? :P) without going overboard and making it gay or ricery. I love it the way it is too but doesnt hurt to brainstorm.

I'd only be doing it for the performance gains of being able to fit such huge rubber on there. Function > form.

There is a thread somewhere on p-diddy about this car, personally i love the pure raceness of it, but as a cosmetic exercise for a street car i think it would look pretty queer.

I would no way go that far, 8x10 wheels are a little too big lol :P But if you know my gc8 then it would definately be function too, thought it would suit the cosmetic forum though. Something a bit more subtle, more like the my11 wrx amount.

I think the rear wheels would fit in much better if they didnt leave the stock rear bumper, and changed it out for something as wide as at least the bottom of the rear flares
