Fender Flare Thread

[darvo]

Clean Job!

WE cut the fender right on the edge to keep the lip at the end of the fender and just added metal as we needed.

switched from IE flares to eurostop flares. eurostop 4 door flares fit 100 times better than IE flares, but still are a bit rough.

sorry for the iphone pics

Any pics of the car on the finished product. Id like to see the car on the ground.:D

ok, i must be stupid. Wheres the damn thread where the guy used spandex? He made spacers and stretched spandex over it to make a smooth flare for the rear. HELP!!

[shiboujin]

it was fleece or something. Def not spandex. You are thinking of the Grassroots E30 IIRC.

finally found it from your thread yoshi. Going to widebody my truck project. Seems like the cleanest cheapest way to do it.

Fiberglass was used for the 09 Challenge made the similar way you are looking by taking a mold from the stock fenders (you can see the old setup on the right sidebar)...

I like the way the Condor Speed Shop ($2010 GRM Challenge) car came out even better though...

Bumping this thread!
Anyone have any more pics of late model 4-doors with flares? (Other than Eric's car)

You know I have been wanted to see a MtechII with eurostop flares for some reason I think that would look badass.

My friends E30.

This car looks like my old one...

haha that car was built for 2K and the year. Now being sold for 11K.

When cutting the inner part of the fender to make some room, do you affect the integrity of the chassis?

Note that I will, at one moment, have a roll bar or cage, but not for now...

$11k with all new GC suspension, standalone MS3, new turbo, new exhaust, new digital gauges, digital boost control, HKS BOV, new 38mm WG, 16" wheels, 27x10.5" Goodyear slicks, all new brakes, fuel pump, new silicone hoses, custom bumper, 2.7 m20, ported head, MLS gasket, head studs, crank scraper etc etc. All the junkyard parts from that pic are long gone. The shell is about all that remains from the $2010 car.

Did you see the other GRM $2010 e30 sell on ebay for $18k once the parts were upgraded? How much ch do you think it costs to buy (or build) a race-ready e30 that placed mid-field in the Ultimate Track Car Challenge?

Lol at the "build for 2k bs"

Lol at the "build for 2k bs"

It was a $2k build. The motor blew the next day after the pic. Stock 200k mile m20's apparently don't like 21psi on a stock head gasket. You should see the cars that come out to the challenge and the stories about using something around the house. One team had a wide body Dodge Aries that used a $10 CL filing cabinet. You have to have proof and documentation of your parts source. ;)
