I like the look (and ease of replacement) of the bolted-on GT flare. Does anyone have detailed (up-close) pics of this treatment? What size/number/type of screws or bolts were used.
Please post pics Thanks BH Attached image(s)

I put riveted flares on my race car and learned several things: Use "large head" rivets, available from Racer Parts Wholesale and a backing washer so they will not pull loose. Get a pneumatic riveter such as the low cost one from Harbor Freight as it is much easier to use than a manual one. Get a couple of packs of the right size Cleco fasteners and a pair of the Cleco pliers from Racer Parts to hold them on with as you drill all the holes. Install the flared rocker panels on first using the jack point opening as a locator then fit the flares to mate with the ends of the rocker panels. Oh yea, the large head rivets also come in colors besides natural aluminum. Good luck
