Wanting more tire, the time finally came to go wider body.
Here, you can see how easy and fast you can produce a good looking flare install. I started with professionally painted flares and plastic edge molding. Measure and mark the car carefully before cutting: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i944.photobucket.com-1413-1351881777.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i944.photobucket.com-1413-1351881777.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i944.photobucket.com-1413-1351881778.3.jpg) After holding/clamping the flares in their finished position, trace a light pencil line along the outside edge of the flare onto the car. Apply 2" masking tape to the line. The inside edge of the tape becomes your cut line: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i944.photobucket.com-1413-1351881778.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i944.photobucket.com-1413-1351881778.5.jpg) KT |
