Looks good, but I like it better with the BSMs, on a side note, what flares are those?
Thanks

Explain your rear wheel arches. They are wider and I want to know how. That looks damned sexy and I have never seen it before.

Next question, do you have a link that has pricing information?

IMO, your car looks good with or without the BSMs. As always, it all comes down to personal preferences on the BSM issue.

If you will look closely, you will notice that the car has the BSM on the passinger side & has been removed on the driver side. He has his cake & can eat it too!!!!!!!! It all depends on how you look at the car. I know some one who accually did that for 2 mo. before anyone noticed. I...opps....he was removing the BMS off his car & decided who would notice that one side hqad them & the other had not.......

The ABSOLUTE truth! People who say they like BSM, say so because their car came with them, and, like an uncomfortable pair of shoes, just got used to them.

Sorry, like it better with. And not because I already have them, that was a requirement when I was shopping for the AE, along with 3:15 rear and convertible. Makes the door look like it doesn't line up with the front fender without them. As always that is my OPINION, and not a criticism. I would never tell you to leave them on your car, but so many hostile people feel obligated to state on the forum that if you have them, they look stupid. It'll always be a point of disagreement, so glad you're happy with it without.
