Thanks for posting the pic GreekM3 & being the 1st to try this ,but something looks wrong there ,it looks like they cut the extension piece down it just looks too short ,they cut the whole bottom part off instead of customizing it to fit the tt bumper ,which is what i was thinking was possibleyou can clearly see the gt2 piece makes a 90 degree turn at the bottom
...but today,my car will be in Techart in Leonberg...i will have more news during week from my friend Thomas there
..so i will let you know guys...P.S take a look a better foto which i took 2 days ago

It seems that it isn't such simple than i previously thought. The rear fit with the skirts is also bad. And the fender extensions can't be considered a cheap mod, if you take in consideration that:
1. The fit is bad and need to be customize in the lower parts (front lip and side skirts) to have a decent finish;
2. It has no funcional feature because it doesn't increase the clearance to accomodate wider tires or wheels with very agressive offset. It is just a pure estetic mod.
I think that i will pass this.

I knew it could be done
Here's some pics i took today at a local car show of the Evoms Turbo notice how the extensions fit perfectly on the front & back of this turbo bumper,so it can def be done you just need a shop that knows what there doing the white car def had something funky going on with its install.

I've done this mod on my car.
First off you need to get the GT2RS fender flares. The GT3RS flares run a different length and won't reach to the bottom end of the front bumper on the turbo.
Secondly, the flare piece that attaches to the front turbo bumper needs to be reformed to fit the contour of the turbo bumper properly.
H&R's 7mm spacers on the front should cure the offset issue.
