Now isn't it a problem painting the car with the flares bonded on? There isn't a natural place for the paint to end? It needs to bridge the gap?

Hey LPB?

Just like the red car, there will be no gap. I would expect the glue would squeeze out of the gap, get hard, be trimmed, sanded, primed and painted. Better rough it up good to start with, both sides. First you need to make sure that you have no tire rub to cause a re-crack. I have never put on flares like those. It would be easier to blend them in with the qtr, but that's a different look. I belive I would do one first before I jump all the way in. I see then attached like that all the time so there must be a procedure. WILL, Your flares don't have that little flat edge like the red car. I have attached lower side skirts with tiny headed rivets in countersunk holes, and then filled over the rivet heads.Looks like Your gonna have your work cut out for you finishing the edge where it meets the qtr.
