Reply to "Group 4 Steel Flare Help Requested"

All,

Thanks again for the help.

In regards to spacers, I don't think anyone likes them. However, in order to get the look I want without forking out major $$, I am resigned to using a "spacer." Right now everything is for mock up, and mock up only! I also plan on custom machining "spacers" when I have everything figured out, but right now its cheaper and quicker to run to summit and get the parts. There will be time down the road when the body is at the paint shop to get everything fixed and proper.

Ron,

I have only mocked my flares into place, and haven't bothered to install the lower front and rear peices yet, so pulling it off isn't much of an ordeal expect for knocking out a few tacks. Your photo with the additional 2.5" of material is pretty much what I had in my mind, so I guess I am on the correct path.

...and I appologize for bringing back bad memories...


I have never seen a set of fiberglass flares in person (not many group 4 cars in the area), so I'm not sure I will like the fit on them either. Also, don't want to admit defeat this early on :}
