2G Fender Flare Install

[lasershark]

Just FYI, I know a lot of people don't care because of past dealings with CBN, but I did receive my CSL hatch two weeks ago from them.

But the real question is... How long ago did you order it? After seeing the hatch on 95talongirls talon I wanted one... Then I found out who made the hatches and past (maybe current???) customers order acquisition time and it turned me off... so bad!

I personally don't like the carbonetics ones, it looks off on 2g bubbly body style. The flares from Allen is much better for the flow of the body.

mine is far from done obviously. needs paint job

What are Allen's flares made from?

I've managed to find a set, they'll be to my house next Wednesday. I'm curious about the width increase once you they are installed. How much do more width do they give you for wheel/tire fitment?

Yours look great! I'm going to try to do the install without rivets, and instead use 3m panel bond or something like it.

The carbonetics ones don't look so bad if you install them right.

What does it look where it clears the gas door?

I have black fender felt in-between the flare and body so you can't really tell from 10ft away. Do I wish the little cutout wasn't there? Yes. Do I care that much since my Talon isn't a "show car". Not really.
