Hi, I didn`t know the price was that high---how far are you from Bushnell or Wildwood ??If not to far you may want to look up a buddy of mine that does Lambo kits, ect , ect Jr www.kitcarman.com he gets pretty inventive, maybe you guys could bounce around some ideas...

Sunbird Turbo flares - they make the openings appear smaller (car looks lowered) and they give you 2 inches of width.
My sig has 245/50/16 all around and the rears need to be wider.

$20 from the wreckers - these were off a Red 1989 Pontiac Sunbird Turbo.
I did a similar thing to my BMW 535i years ago with flares from an 1985 Toyota Supra.
I plan to fiberglass them in smooth this spring before a paint job.
I also grabbed the hood scoops from the same car and thought I was making my car unique until I joined PFF (lol)!
