Looks good man !
Here's some food for thought for anyone else thinking of flares !
Down here in Oz we had the car below Holden Torana SLR5000, the flares of this could be easily modded to fit if you have half a clue about fibreglass work . here a few pic's to give you an idea of their profile .

so what happened to the flares sunburn? ever get them finished with your body kit on or are you just waiting for funds so you can do it? I'm curious to see how it turns out when it's all done.

No updates guys... been busy driving the car and breaking it here and there... no real funds to put into body work ATM. Car will get the bodywork done next spring. I'm putting all my money into parts for my LS2 swap and I'm making it a full track car... so body work is not priority #1 at the moment.
I probly jumped into these a little too fast and am not that compelled to mess with them much more rightnow... they look good enough for now.

Turns out it was just a cracked line on the low pressure side so I just put a piece of hose over the crack with some clamps... good enough for now.
I'm glad it was not the rack...
I really love the knuckles man, last wed night at E-town I had such crazy angle slides going across the entire parking lot... pedal to the floor and just steer through it. You gotta come see them in action. The car is soooo much easier to slide now.

don't forget to update us when you get those flares done!
I don't mean to butt into your conversation sunburn but what knuckles are you running? aftermarket or modded? I've got a lot of rocker work to do but I plan on a T2 swap after and thinking of grabbing the locked diff in my bro's parts/junk rx7 for drifting and have been meaning to look into some "angle-enhancers". any info on the matter you know of would be helpful.thanks, feel free to PM me. don't want to hijack your thread.
EDIT: oops, I forgot its MY thread.lol. that was great. seems you've turned my thread into your personal flare build thread. I don't mind at all but it was funny that I didn't even realize it was my thread anymore. guess its time for bed...

I also did custom tie rod ends by modifying a set of K-sport S-13 parts there is a thread around here in the drifting sectoin about it.

If you look through some old Hyper REV isseues, you will see lots of FC's with flares that seem to be made for FC's... They follow the stock body perfectly.
