Do you mean like the liberty walk kit... those are bolt on, but you have to cut your factory fenders to put them on.

Agreed. They only look acceptable on a purpose-built track car.

I realized this is the FAD along with white letter tires. Looks like crap on a street car. Dedicated track machine yes. When to draw the line

I agree. It's a fad, and a bad one at that. Same with that ugly **** white lettering on the tires. Shoot, it's borderline for even a dedicated track car.

I thought flairs were things one shot into the air to make a glowing smoke stream?

Has anyone tried these flares yet? I'm curious to see what they look like on a car with the right setup.
