Free aero? Did you find them tossed by the garbage or is that Kevin's old bumper or something? It looks kinda familiar lol.

How much wider are the new fenders? Is it just the rears or fronts too?

Why not go full wide body now and save yourself the trouble? Everytime we see your car it's wider so you might as well go all the way.
