did it myself...

 

very cool! You have any other pics? maybe one from behind?

 

What did you do

 

I'm curious of this too HC....

 

I want to see pics from the rear. From the side it looks kinda odd

 

Howard, please post some more pictures from the rear and showing the clearances of the wheel. You have my one of my favvvortie wheels

 

Looks like you did a very clean job Howard. Very clean job.

 

this thread makes me so mad he only posted one pic

 

I though you were going to make your own rear fender?

Please more pics from rear. Need to see clearance. Thanks HC.

i actually did a photo shoot of how i did the whole installation which might be helpful to any wishing to do the install themselves.

i do not have a paint booth, am not really a body guy but i did sleep at a ...... last night.

the final current paint finish is an exact match to my Audi 2000 Cool White but was sprayed using a hand held Preval. as a result it has a dimpled finish.

the last place my car will ever be is a body shop what with the effort i have on my many one of a kind mods. i do plan to have it painted this winter however by a guy i know who does show quality work at his home. at that time it will be an easy task to resand my hand painted areas and shoot them pro-style.

so i am driving around w a slightly unfinished patina in the flare area. the body work however i am absolutely really happy with.

lots of bondo, lots of sanding, lots of sanding, lots of priming. it is not a job to do if you are in a hurry. it took me a week.

the clearance is perfect for my Enkei NTO+3M 18 X 10.5 +30 MM offset w 285/30. i will be running either 295s or 305s next year.

i am not a "show" guy. i am a "go" guy. they are on the car because w 500-600 rwhp you need the above wheel sizing and rubber to plant the rear on a road course. i am aware that aesthetics is personal so you are free to like them or not.

they work for me.

i will post some additional pics in the next day or so. if there is an interest in a "how i did it" series i can also be of help.

you can do it too.

i was told not to use these fiberglass widebody flares even though i have then...if i dont want it to eventually crack... im gonna have a bodyshop cut the fender in places then pull and reweld...

what do you think guys?

 

as promised here are 10 pics of my Burnout flares...

the first picture is of my engine. that's the sole reason my the flares are on my car. if you look closely you will see two Garrett To4s, each capable of making 300 rwhp at less than 23 psi without breaking a sweat... target hp is 630.

that's why i needed the 10.5 rear wheels and the 9.5s to balance it out. 10.5s don't work w the stock fenders by .625 of an inch. the Burnouts are perfect... they provide just the right amount of clearance to run 305s easily and don't look like the godawful Pettit flares. sorry Cam

i run my car low. low is fast. 25 inches at the top of the wheelwells front and rear. you might get away w running 10.5s if you jacked up the car. and you would have just made a losing trade if going fast is the deal...


find the second turbo...

here are the flares. as mentioned previously they do not have the finish paint on them. summers are short in wisconsin and i will have the finish paint done in november...












given the fact that they are understated and work w the optimum tire/wheel package i really like my flares.

Look's good Howard , Where can I obtain these burnout flares?

 

damn that looks clean
also loving the fact that a 305 fits under there perfectly as that is the tire size i want to run wiht my burnout fenders
what is the wheel offset in the rear?

 

offset is 40 front 30 rear. my congrats to whomever sized and designed these as they are spot on.

hc

 

i really should get some. looks great

 

Get the flares, and then get the rims from me. hehe. I still work the special deal for guys who are rocking burnout.

I'll do package deals on Shine Auto Spec B stuff and Enkei wheels if purchased together. Just let me know.

Thanks a lot hc, was waiting for days to get some real deal pics.

 

Do these only work on the Burnout Fenders , or will they go on the stock rear ?? ... if so , where can we get these ??

 

the burnouts are fender flares that go on your stock quarter panels. We offer the flares.

I'd be surprised you couldnt fit a 315 on that same wheel.

nice FD! are those aftermarket big brakes under those Enkeis or what?

(I know old thread, blah blah blah)

 

Sorry to thread Hi-jack, but does anybody know how I can get the Pettit flares?

Sorry again,

and thanks in advance.

Look up Racing Brake in the suspension forum.

 

Howard, are your front fenders stock, or did you go wider there as well?

 

wow howard, your car is bad-*** man. fenders look great. I love your enginebay evenmore =P

who built your turbosetup?

did u have to cut open factory rear fender for these burnouts?

 

I dunno what he actually did but,
you can pull/roll the rear oem sheetmetal fenders to fit the burnouts
OR
for the most clearance, you can cut the outside sheetmetal up to the top of the wheel well ceiling then pull the inner sheetmetal outward and reweld them together/shut ending with a silicone sealant and paint it
