135i fender flare options

Looking at opinions of N5Tuner flares and clinched universal glider flares, or if you have recommendations for another brand. Looking to be affordable, but still good quality and fitment.

Did that Lexus guy seriously seal his rear doors off? Wow...

And, oh my god...chrome wheels? We don't drive '50s Chevys...

I like the N5Tuner flares better, it looks like they're molded to mimic some of the lines and shapes on the bodywork unlike the universal flares from Clinched. They'd look even better if they were painted.

No real good options exist IMO. The n5tuner flares aren't bad, but only available in fiber.

Hello, I am bringing this up from the dead. Given its been 9 months since the last post on this thread. Are there any aftermarket wider front and rear fender flares that are cheaper than the ER Widebody kit for 135i?

Is it only these two options: n5tuner & clinched flares?

Sure looks like it. But hey, race car.

n5tuner rear flares are just as ugly as those universal. Their front flares are nice.
