I've seen the Jap flares before but thought they looked different.. I guess I was wrong.

If my recollection is correct, there was a Jap import S4 locally that had that front flare. It was done in chrome.

This is not factory. The last 928 ever built had flared front fenders from the factory option code x38.
Take a look http://928registry.org/1995-928GTS-Pearlglanz.htm

IMHO it doesn't look good and interrupts the smooth lines of the car. I would expect flares like this on a Ford Capri but not on a GTS.

Its a Japanese GTS....i've seen those type of flares while watching the Japanese auctions....another give away is the red flare mounted on the passenger side footwell.....mine came with the same thing which at first i took to be a fire extinguisher.
