flares, bolt-on vs molded Options

[ninefourteener]

Ok.... I've spent so much time/effort/money on the RSX lately, I've almost ignored the teener all summer.

What can I say? I've owed the car 1.5 years, and the only repair I've made was a battery. The only upgrades I've done have been stereo related, my side decals, or my front spoiler. I still drive it regularly (2 or 3 times a week), wash/clean it obsessively, and love it to death... but I've got an "itch" for a major change.

The 914 sits in the garage all winter.... and winter is coming. Perfect opportunity to do major changes. I'm actually contemplating flaring the car.

Call me crazy, but I kinda like the look of the bolt-on fenders better than the typical "molded-in" fenders. Plus, there's all kinds of advantages..... like the lack of a need for paint... among many others.

So.......... can we post some pictures of bolt-on flared cars? Procedures for doing it right? Will bolt-on flares interfere with my marker lights? Do the come in different sizes? Where can I buy them? How much do they cost?

As always.. this site rocks! Thanks!!

I like the look as well, my car is the white one in my avatar.
I posted Randal's race car pic for you.
He has it attached with large pop rivets and black fender welting trim around the edges as it touches the painted surface.
Very clean install.
Side maker lights can stay if you like. Randal has large Koni stickers covering his openings.
