UPDATE. i had to put the flares on the back burner for awhile. other projects came up then i just forgot about them. but i finally have them made. i made a new one for the front of the rear wheels. and i couldn't decide on the rear so i made 2 different designs for the rear. the rears are full lenth flares. they go all the way to the bottom of the rear bumper. i will post some pics later and see what you guys think. having 2 different rear designs i can swap the rears out for a different look once in a while. i also use a mud flap on the wheel side of the rears to keep rocks from destoying them.

no these a 3 seperate pieces. they are very time consuming to make. after i make all the molds and have some made of glass i may try and mold them all together to make 1 piece.

That looks very good, and I would be really interested in the set that trails along the bottom of the back fender. My only suggestion would be to round off the mud flap, and not have it so square and pointy. Just doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the car. Just my .02 for what it's worth. I wish I was as talented!

thanks for the kind words guys i don't know how much, i never really thought about it. they won't be overpriced. i'll try and make them affordable. i'm going to go ahead and make molds of these.
do you guys want just the front and rear extensions or the factory flare also.
