i need to buy these, but i dont have the money to widen my wheels now. i plan on putting on 16x8 on the front and then ill buysome more lips and probably make the rears 9 or 10.

 

Yeah I'm really trying to go 9" wide in the back. I'm going to wait to measure though once the flares are on...but I still am not quite sure how much of the existing fender I need to cut. I'm not a bodywork guy, but I'd imagine cutting where the fender "bubble" begins...I wouldn't think that bolting the flare to the beginning of the bubble would be good for anything...::headscratch::

 

Is TAS still around? I want to see pics of the car with the wider wheels all around...

 

Last activity was yesterday. He should still be around here somewhere. I too would like to see better pictures of the finished product. All the others seem kinda dark, and it's hard to make out the details of how the flares actually look. Some daylight pictures would be awesome...

 

Yea definatly. I would love to put them on one or both of my FB's, but need to see some better pics first...

 

Even though there's the slight fitment issue, for the price you really can't beat the deal your getting. I think I'm gonna order mine within the next couple weeks.

 

Looks fuggin awesome. Old news though...

 

It's not old news -- unless you have a comprehensive installation tutorial.

I spoke with the aforementioned body-guy and he said I should NOT cut the fenders at all but pull out the existing fender material and make a new 90 degree lip (the fenders already have one, obviously to bolt the new flares on. I'm going to try that this weekend. It's not easy to describe without pictures, I know, but I'll hopefully have something for you guys this weekend. I'm borrowing his tools for the "procedure."

In the worst case, he'll do them for me, but I'd like to do it myself.

 

It would make sense to provide a seal between the fender and the flare. That way no dirt or rocks could get in and deteriorate the body.

 

Yes he suggested this and I mentioned that the quality job posted up here had a fender liner. Nothing like collecting extra wet in the form of rocks and dirt in the fenders! We differed on taste -- he wants me to fiberglass (mold) them on while I like the exposed look.
