Cool. In for updates.

Hmmmm........


You know I'm going to ask.....e28 fitment?

thinking the same thing for my e12 I think they would work with some slight alteration

I would think if they fit early body e30s, e12/28s would be no problemo.

The problem with the e12 is the hood seam is so close to the front fenderwell top. I have turbo flares here I tried fitting and no way. The good thing about KA Motors is the front flare looks short which may make it sit below the hood seam. I need more tire on this thing.

It's going to be at the Vintage 2013, correct?

I think Rivnuts and SS or Black machine hex-head bolts will really be a good direction to go, and makes removal/replacement a bit better than drilling out rivets.

For now I could supply self tapping screws, that's what I'm using on mine, BUT as I sell these I can afford to include nice hardware.
like these. There is no reason to actually rivet these one. Screws will hold it to the body nice and tight.

something like this cleans up the look


but you must realize these are simple bolt on fender flares not a beautiful wide body. They give the car a bit of a tougher look not soo much a clean show car style, but in my case function>form

the front fender fits right under that line once pushed against the body and the welting would be just about on the line. The bigger of the wheel well the more the flare stretches out and lays flatter, while the smaller the wheel well the more the flare protrudes out.

If you were to install these on a car with a smaller wheel well that an E30 you would actually get more clearance out of the flare.

Function that dictates form is best.

Hmm...I like the sound of this. I was running 225 in the rear of the e28 and scrubbing like a mofo.

great idea guys, long overdue.

[evandael]

its just held on by tape so its pulling away from the body you can see in the picture its not up against the body. and to the others yes you would need to cut out at least 50% of the original flares.

excellent. i'm looking forward to full mounted photos, pricing, etc!

[GunMetalGrey]

I like these, a lot. But cutting my arches concerns me lol.
Awesome and I want some though!

[Pl3wA]

i dont even have any rear arches (rust+duct tape) so i will definitely need some

[kamotors]

I'll install my rear flares today and make short DIY so others can do it by themselves.

[FARZAD]

I'll be interest it for sure>>>

[benjohnson]
