i vote flares heres mine
|
is it me or did that photo not work...?
|
i vote flares too.
don't have a pic of my car handy though. |
Sorry old thread but had to add my .02 cents.
Pettit Flares FTW! |
IMO, I love rear flares, I am currently getting a set of feed rear fenders molded in as we speak. The pettit flares are just too much, unless they are on an extremely aggressive car, the +50mm just ruins the lines. With a +25mm rear, you get a wider stance without it looking out of place.

huge fan of molded Pettit's...
http://jdmjunkee.com/blog/wp-content...3/fd-rx7-1.jpg I plan to do the same (molded pettit's) when the funds are available. I got the wheels, but tires, parts, molding, etc... have put this out of the current budget. haha Another Fav shot: (Not molded) but I love wide tires from the rear... http://image.turbomagazine.com/f/885...+rear_view.jpg |

the guy is a body shop owner worker, those a pettit flares with RB sides (?).
I like fender flares but pettits are way overdone IMO also I think cars with only rear flares can look silly at certain angles. This car I just love, it has flares but not too much IMO: https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1245189270 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1245189270 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1245189270 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1245189270 |

Ever think about putting on some wide front fenders? IMO, transition looks off from such a narrow front to a really wide rear. Or another suggestion, send me your 20b?
On a side note, car is super clean and I would put it in my top ten overall on the forum. Regarding wide front fenders, I'm just not a fan of them. I've never seen a set that IMO keeps the flowing lines of the car. For me, the current look works. It's kind of like the Porsches that have the widened out OEM backs. They're the ones that kick ass as they have huge HP (at least for an OEM car). Hopefully that's like me too. |

Thanks for the comments and compliments. After all the $$ I have pumped into the 20B conversion, I think I will keep it for awhile:)
