Default Fender flares
Saw this car on IG. Just curious if any other members have done bolt on fender flares. Not sure if this car belongs to a member or not. Personally, I think it looks pretty good!!

They look completely non-functional. Flares should not only allow wider wheels but also allow them to have adequate suspension travel.

Hmm... not too bad, but would look much better paint-matched.

I kinda like it, but i think it needs a little more to pull it off. I just think it's missing a thing or 2.

it looks good on a black car as it semi hides the fact that its a bolt on flare, it would look like crap on anything else

I think it would be an easy way to flare your **** out while keeping the flow of the flare even. I would personally use the flares as a starting point then have body work done to blend them in to flow better

Not sure if the owner is a CL member. His IG is dan_molloy. I'm interested in how these were made as well. I think the bolt-on look would flow well on a racing/drift/ style car.
