Not really a fan of the new fender flare fad that everyone is doing. I like wide bodies, but only if it's a true wide body done right through out the entire car. Not just bolting on a set of flares and having crazy offset wheels. And BTW...having the bolts or screws show on the flares makes it look unfinished. If it were me, I would at least mold the flares so they look smooth and flow properly, versus having the bolts show.



In my opinion, the only way flares look good if they are on lifted trucks.

I like bolt on flares for wide tires if it's a race build with all the other associated parts, but not if it's a fitment build. We all know how I feel about fitment builds though.

Almost, but still not acceptable:

ive seen more stanced cars in the shop than non stanced. you put your car through hell when you put a ridiculous amount of camber on the wheels and its so unsafe. but trying telling that to an 18 year old kid fresh out of high school who just landed a honda civic and some deep dish rims.
