Flared fenders installation
Hello C5 Family,
I attempted to install the rear flared fenders. I now have some finger sized gaps between my fenders to halo on passenger side. Fender gap to trunk door and fender gap to passenger door. What did I do incorrectly? Is this an easy fix?

from what i have read that is normal...you are going to have to play with adjusting them to get the gaps to close..they are not a true 100% bolt on mod, they take time to fit to the car so that they look factory

It will take more than just adjusting if want them to be rite. Lot of work goes into to installing them and making them look good. Way more work than I ever anticipated.

Congrats on the flares.
Are you painting them yourself? When I test fit mine I took the car to my painter and left it... They got the gapping right for me. If you aren't painting them yourself that's what I would do provided you feel your shop can get her lookin right. Can't wait to see them done!
