Those look good Evan, pity about not going all the way to the bottom of the sill at the front but they certainly have a much better shape to them (not curled up). Nice!
650mm rolling diameter to big for rear lx hatch

yer, it is a bit , but when i looked at a lot of hatches from a slight distance, you cant tell anyway. And the 4 door ones stop at the sill too. But would be better all the way to the bottom.

Otherwise fine.

Evan, your new flares look heaps better than the old ones! If you sprayed that little area behind the flare black, would it be less noticeable?
