I know the guy that owns this one. Great looking car in person.

I Personally like the rear end of the car. Im not crazy about a wide body up front but i like the back. 335s on a fox looks badass with normal sizes up front
Here are a few of one of my previous Fox-bodies. I had the Maier Racing 1.5" flared fenders and quarter panels. I was able to fit 17x10" (315/35-17) front and 17x12 (335/35-17) rear:
Here is one of another LX with the 3" flared kit:
You have to use the Maier dropped rear bumper cover, or a 1993 Cobra rear bumper cover to match the body lines to the quarter panels. A saleen rear bumper cover works, too.
Personally, I liked the way it looked on my car. With the 1.5" flared kit it was subtle, and hardly anyone noticed, they just knew something looked different.
The fenders required a LOT of prep work, and modification to fit like factory, and the rear are overlays on the steel panels with the stock pannels cut out to allow ultra wide wheels in the back.
EDIT: forgot the fact that the fenders are molded from the 79-90 version that requires the use of the pre-91 fender extentions that bolt to the bottom of the fender from the air dam. The back of the fenders need to be braced to keep them lined up with the hood and cowl lines, and the antenna hole needs to be cut, and reinforced to mount one like stock.
Lots of work.....
If I were to do it again today, I would just have custom sheet metal work done and flare the steel panels.
