3)Will the front and rear fit the 7?

4)From your pics,in some spots,it doesnt look like they sit flush with the body.
What did you use to mount them?

Post up the info
:)

AFAIR the mk1 fenders are a little wider than mk2.

It will require cutting, welding and filling. Its not a bolt-on application
I didnt do mine, they came like that when i bought it
Im not sure what you mean about flush, they are supposed to stick out to make more room for wider tyres.

I drove by that Celica yesterday, to talk to teh guy and see if he was willing to part with them. Sadly the guy was not there, but I looked at the flares, and they are made of a rubber like palstic, so I can just peel them off, and bolt them on. They also look like they might fit nicely, and they way they would mount would alow for wider tires/ deeper rims, but if you are running stock rubbers they may look decent as well.

They also have mudlaps built in which is a nice feature, because it gives you mudflaps, that look smooth with the car, are practicle, and yet sporty.

when I mean flush,i ment flush with the body,it looks like there was a gap in some spots.
