Default New flares on coupe

Well after a ton of frustration my flares are finally on. Thank Goodness. Thoughts?















These are quickz06 flares and finally cost flares and installation was 2100 dollars in case you are wondering.

Change tire and rim size and lower so it could look right in my opinion. But if you like that, that's what counts. You ask for my thoughts.

I like it, but I would add the splash guards, I think it "completes" the look.

Again, looks good though.

I don't think they have splash guards made for these yet. . As far as wheels these are the drag pack. I have oem grand sport wheels to put on but I have to put in my longer wheel studs first. (I have the appropriate spacer)

I know you got them from quick Z06, but might these work?? If you look at the products tab, they have a few choices.

Anyone tried those splash guards with these flares?

calivette- I thought it was high but I felt bad at all the issues they had. The other quote I got was 1500 which was painting the rear bumper too and if no work was needed on the fenders.This place blended the doors and ended up painting them twice. Including a broken corner light. Lol.I knew a guy there and they did not like the duraflex very much.

Cedarberry, paint work is a lot more money than it used to be. I haven't needed any in about 6 years but back then it cost less than 500 for a rear quarter repair and repaint. ( one side)

Not positive if location has a lot to do with it but I can get something like that around here for 200 tops

They look pretty good; I have the same flares, and I totally hear you on the frustration part.
