Default I liked the way they did these flared fenders

Notice the arch and the clearance between the tire and actual fender.
Sorry if some pics are too big.




The bottom car has tires that a just a little to small.

The bottom one is mine, the rears will be upgraded to 18x12 with much bigger tires and maybe I'll mount the rears in the front. It's also too high in the rear and too low in the front, tight now it's like the pic below

That's the way the L88 flares should go on, apparently if you say someone has them on too low you get flamed

I think it's more the way one says it than what one says.

Personally, I think all rubber bumper cars need flares to make them look good. They look out of proportion without flares. Chrome bumpers look good no matter what you do to them

Yeah, I own a 76, and I think it looks like crap without mods. Its getting a custom rear bumper, flared fenders all around, wide *** rims and tires, and a modded open front bumper. That should make it look better

I'm going out to my car and painting the letters yellow.
Yellow "Goodyear" on an all black car looks the business.

I like them the best when they splice the xtra piece
right at the body line
ie you have to cut the big piece some
