Squirrel, say it ain't so: you're not thinking of installing a ricer mod to our cars, are you?

You may be able to mount these on your fender using velcro, they appear to be universal.

Well, if the factory didn't take the last 3" of our fender flares and smash them horizontal we wouldn't have to fix them... now would we?

Dumbest trend EVAR!

Somewhere on the forum there is a thread about flairing the fenders by rolling them out.

I thought about that, but the bumpers and other plastic parts make up the last third of the wheel wells. Kinda hard to roll plastic.

To answer your question, there is not a single bolt-on set of flares, like you'd find on the Datsun 280Z's and Porsche 963/993's.

I guess everyone has the right to do whatever they like to their car; it just doesn't send me. I'd rather have a nice clean line along the vehicle though I will give it up to Opticon & his point on the horizontally challenged non-existant flare.
Looks ricer to me, that's all............

haha well the picture you showed looks terrible i was just joking but there are some nice widebody kits that get blended with the body that end up looking very nice in my opinion. they just need some body work to get rid of the lines
