universal fender flares???

has anyone looked into other fender flare kits for the E70?? i'm upgrading wheels and am not too crazy about the look of the optional OEM fender flares...(not much of a difference from stock)

some of the universal kits seem to be a better option... just don't want to go through the expense of trying out everything out there....

i'm sure there are ones that fit perfectly...

anyone looked into this?? would be nice to find wider nicer looking kits!

In my opinion, subtle is better. I've seen some pretty tasteless ones from other manufacturers where it sticks out too far for the size of the wheel and the result is it makes the wheels look too small for the body. 2000 Pathfinders for example. I've actually looked into doing flares for the 19s but it would look pretty bad considering the wheel doesn't come out at all and it would make them look smaller. The OEM ones are perfect for the staggered 20s if you ask me.
