okOriginally posted by CubbyChowder View PostStatic or air wouldn't really make a big difference to what I'm pointing out actually. Not trying to dog your build at all, you've been doing great work and the fenders look awesome, but BMW fenders are usually lower in the rear than in the front from the factory. The rear wheel always tucks before the front wheel does, which can cause people to give the body of the car a raked look when they try to even out the front/back fender-to-wheel gap. Since your rear fender looks a couple inches lower from the original in your before/after photo, it seems like your car is going to have a pretty insane rake to it when all is said and done. Unless you were planning on tucking the rear wheel like crazy, but it doesn't seem like that's what you're going for with the mock up photos and your wheel size.
It's just something I thought I'd point out, I did custom fender flares on my BMW 2002 and actually moved the rear fenders up about 1.5" from original to level the body out while having the same fender-to-wheel gap.
I understand about what you mean
over the wings still be possible to work

Did you lower the rear arch a bunch? It seems like you're going to have some serious rake when you're aired out

Excellent work, keep it up!
Really liking how the arches are shaping up.
