fender flares, front/rear bumpers

can someone help me figure our which parts i need? i see there is a choice between the 4.8is, the 3.0 special, and the le mans style? i want my fenders to be pushed out so i can add some wheel spacers. i def want the front and rear bumpers as well

can someone explain the differences here?

Edit: i stand corrected... I didnt know the aero kit was also called Mtech.
If you want to add the lower bumper trim (is') style it's costly and you would have to use the (is') flares


If you want to save some dough you can get the Lemans edition flares.


This is actually a good pic.. the car infront is a 4.8is which you can compare the flares to and the one on the corner here is the 3.0 with flares that curve with the bumper.

IIRC lemans edition lower flares cost ALOT less than the (is') equivalent.

Lemans flares have a curve at the end since there is no 4.8is parts.

The 4.8is flares end in a block since the flare doesnt allow for the curve thus is you put them on without the 4.8is parts it look funky.
