I respect that some dislike it, but those who want to lash out at people for having a difference in opinion need to go grow up.
Nope completely disagree. I think that liberty walk, and even a lot of rocket bunny kits look great. They match the car well they look kind of raw with the rivets, I don't think they look cheap, they just look like a wider more aggressive version of the cars they're on. To me it looks like this company tried to do that, but went wayyyyy to over the top and really failed.

This kit would look more at home on a hot wheels car than on an actual one...

too each his own. i love how BMW owners will make their cars look as they desire them to look. i personally believe this kit is just as good as any other kit and am excited to see someone put it on their ride.

Why all the hate? It comes to personal choice. And your opinions don't matter. :-)

Why? Cause they look crappy for the street- bolt on flares, like wings, are track elements. On the street these flares look like you just didn't care enough to do a good job. Want flares, get 1M fenders and look /good/...

Personal choice? You betchya, bolt em on! Have at it. Your car, your rules

As for the opinions, on the contrary, we were asked specifically for them as you can see quoted above. We delivered. As you mentioned, personal choice and clearly of those who replied the opinion is not very favorable.

Just a thing. Don't matter none. I'm sure you're right and we'll have the joy of seeing some los..., er, person, bolt them on soon.

I personally like the way it looks. Rivets can easily be hidden and the kit molded into the body. Would look awesome.

Price point on this kit?

Kit looks OK. I'm sure with a different color and rims it wouldn't seem as outlandish.

Just as bad, if not worse, than that Liberty Walk garbage.

I know I commented already, but I found myself in this thread again for some reason.

Honestly, I would have loved to see a kit based on the BMWP front fascia. Would have been unique and cool.

But... this looks like a worse version of the ER front widebody kit. And the rear flares are just gross.
