From a purely aesthetic standpoint, i think the flaw is the rear end. There's alot of overhang on that rear bumper, probably as a concession to platform sharing with the G, which requires a certain amount of trunk space + rear seats and what not.

Part of that can be hidden or balanced out, imo, with even wider flares. Just a visual cue for me. For example, the Supra Mkiv has MASSIVE front/ rear over hangs that make it look like a fat ugly pig in near stock form. Widebody ones, however, look ok.

As for rocket bunny and "add-on" flares, anything can look good when executed correctly. I've seen some add on flares from various companies where the arches don't line up with the curves of whatever front/rear bumpers are on the car, and no amount of wheel fitment or big wing or flashy paint can cover that up for me

Wiggins, whether you like add on flares or not, is putting effort into good execution, so you gotta give him props for that. Plus the amuse kit + wide = sex. The rear bumper smooths out the over hang issue because it extends the rear bumper out in a rounded way (midline pokes out but tapers in toward the bottom of the bumper), giving the illusion of a slimmer, tighter rear end. Like good fitting yoga pants make rear end look better
