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!!

Find the car!

those are very nice looking flares... Took a lot to make them work, i see? I wonder, how much harder would it be to weld on steel flares? I know you can find them, but not as common as fiberglass...
