Saw these pop up on Pro Speed Racing.

What do we think?
The GC ones look the best out of any I've seen so far.

Would need to be running serious tyres or offset to fill them though!
I think Simon has done something similar with flares from another supplier.

Something looks wrong about those flares in the first pic (grey gc8). The flares just... I dunno... can't put my finger on it... look cheap shit perhaps??

id be concern about what ud need to chop off to get those two pieces on the rear doors? its hard to make it work with the 4 drs i rkn because that door gets in the way.

grey gc looks mint minus skull sticker on back window haha

Kiiz,
As the rear part is 2 piece (whole kit is 6 piece - 2 front and 4 rear), it doesn't get in the way of the doors, one piece stays on the door and one piece bolts to the back part which allows the door to open fine....pulled this info from the ABW website...

I'm assuming one would need to cut existing flare/guards then fit those?
I wonder who is going to be game to try 18x10.5+ wheels with flares...not me lol

yeah i know that its a 6 piece.. whats the point of sticking these pieces on the doors without trimming to get more clearance? so you would need to trim the doors which is what i said id be concerned about haha

Flares are for extending the wheel arches so crazy offset and/or wide tyres don't protrude too far from body...

oh sorry do they just bolt over the stock fenders? i was under the impression that the installation would be along the lines of this, which looks like hell

It's purely dependent on the kit, and what tyre/rim combo you're using.
