I have been eyeing those things off for quite a while, even before they were sold by fm. I like the way they are blened in to the bodywork and not showing a pile of bolts like frankenstein or the torry down the street.

Main problem with those however, is the cost, not only for the flares, but then it wold cost more then that again to get the things fitted and half the car resprayed. Something I might just have to put off for a few years i think

Thats whats drawn me to these ones. I hate the 'tacked on' look of some (eg toranas, proton gti's), whereas these are nice and flowing, similar to an NC

Well, both rear quarter panels have a few scratches in them, and could use a respray...

Ryan- If your talking about Neil or David from Primal garage (as there his photos) Id recommend him also. He will be doing my 15x8 +4 rims soon.

They look so mean that I contacted the seller and negociated a price for 5 sets.

$300 posted per set if there is any interest?

Just kidding.

*runs and hides*

I said I could arrange 15 sets and got em down to $275

Hey Mossy,

Yeah i have been on the lookout for some flares, i just cant find a set i like though.. The ones in that pic look great, maybe a bit too big.. I need the flares to come out about an inch from the body. I love the ones on this work car, i just cant for the life of me find out what flares thay are, and where i can get me a set.

If anyone knows please let me know where i can get a set..

cheers
