fender flairs

There is nothing to see with rolled fenders. The outside of the fender looks the same. You just bend up the pinchweld on the inside of the fender.

The flares don't look bad, as long as the rims are wide enough to fill them out. I actually kinda like the un-molded look on 1g's

Really? I thought it pushes the fender out a little more just for enough for wider wheels

O well

There's two ways to do it. One is rolling the inner lip up to give you an extra 1/4" of clearance. The other way actually pulls the fender out a bit by probably an inch to clear bigger wheels and tires. I've yet to see this done really nicely.

Both of the cars pictured have flares with the original arches cut out for clearance. Both are autocrossed and need the extra clearance for 9"+ wheels and tires.

my fenders are rolled on the inside. youd never be able to tell.

I would imagine it would be pretty hard to pull the edge of the fender out without warping the piss out of the rest of the fender.

That blue car looks retarded.

No, Dennis Grant's 2G with 275's on it looked retarded, but it's a race car, it's about rubber on the ground, not impressing the local crowd.

^What he said!


Are you talking about the purple one with metal flares Steve?

[Goat Blower]

No, it didn't have flares on it, the wheels stuck out a mile, he took the national autocross championship with it. Google far north racing and you'll see all kinds of stuff about it.

Does look weird. Good set of sponsors though, so he must be doing something right. Function before fashion.

I'd get rid of the stock Talon wing first.
