I'd like to see a shot with whole profile of the car with those on. Close-ups aren't really doin it for me. Bracket looks good though.

they look as good a fit as my gemini ones and i would say 100 is a bargain......if you could even get the gemini carbon kevlar one's now they would be over 300 shipped

I'm kind of on the fence about this one myself. I do like the idea, I've never seen an 8 with them on so I give you kudos for originality, however I don't think it's something I would do to my car. Specially since I don't even have that style of fender on my car. I bought the Accolades a year ago.

What's with the two dodges?

Doesn't look too bad, it seems to work. Different for sure.

accolades will cost you an arm and a leg in trying to get them to fit.
