    Just missing the lower duct and it would be perfect.

      I hate body kits but with a little love to the rear... oh man this would really be a dime. A GTR rear bumper with extra flare on the rear fender to compensate would be perfect.

        Shame they dont make these in the stock width…I’d be interested in them. That said, they are too wide unless youre going crazy wide in the rear too. Such a missed opportunity only making time +15 vs also having a stock version…could be the GT3 RS fender option for our cars otherwise.

          Seems excessive. Throws the rear/front balance off visually imo. Good for track use to fit wider wheels I guess.

            not a fan of the shameless GT3 replica styling on the fender vent

            the flossman fender is a much better looking option

              Without matching rear flares, this is what it resembles.

                You guys know our rear flares are wider than the fronts, from the factory?

                This is perfect for whoever wants to run a square setup without rediculous front camber or big rear spacers.

                  I do think they bear a certain resemblance to that of the GT3 , but I agree with this. Functionally, there are a lot of pros with the fenders. And I don't think they look bad on Karb's Phoenix Yellar car.

                      Yeah looking at this photo gives a better idea how they are visually extremely mismatched and unbalanced front vs rear.

                        Ya, that's the pic that had me wondering in the first place...wasn't sure if it was perspective or just in fact wider!?😉

                          It's kinda weird to me that Karb made these wider than stock. They do also make a full size/rear panel, so maybe they'll start making a version of that that's 15 mm wider as well?

                            15 mm is about 0.5 inches. So I have to assume some of that photo is just the angle. Maybe not. But 0.5" isn't a tremendous amount.

                              Just viewing this now after the message but it's funny to me how people have a problem with this but not the imbalance of extreme poke of too wide/low offset fronts that is commonly accepted here 🤔

                              It also appears as if there's a spacer on the front wheel and rears are high offset adding to the visual effect.

                                I started looking at photos on my phone of various M3s that I've downloaded as part of this color change I'm doing. I think that the front three quarter shot that everyone is talking about in Karb's marketing shots is a funny angle. It's a really awkwardly shot photo. If you take your finger or thumb or whatever body part you wish lol and cover up just those exposed carbon fiber slots/gills, but leave enough of that front fender poking out so you can still see it, it looks almost stock. They really didn't push that fender out that much. It's only a half an inch. I think the weight of those black exposed carbon gills is distorting people's perception quite a bit.
