That is the goal! I really did not want to flare the car because I thought it looks good in it orginal form... but the owner wanted more tires.. so I finally broke down & decided to do it .. but I barely wanted it to be noticable..

How will you attach the metal to the bumper cover?

That is awesome. I love the newer Mustangs. I think the flares will make it look even more beastly and with the possibility of adding a wider tire!:thumbsup:

Yeah, what he asked !

Also, did you simply extend the existing flare or did you butt weld a new flare assembly in there ? I don't see where any paint was sanded off to attach the flare using a rolled edge as is often done. If so, good job getting in there and grinding down the weld bead on the inside corner.

Their is a metal to plastic adhesive what will be using.. then fiberglass it.. If that does not work bubble gum! :lol:

We built a flare from scatch, cut out the factory opening, & welded the new pcs... Has been great welding on new factory sheetmetal.. Like paper! :D

Looks good! I doubt most people will notice.

I'm glad you made a post so I didn't have to go look for this thread. Just wanted to say thanks again to you and Karl for letting me throw those Koni shocks on my Mustang for the So Cal Challenge. That was beyond nice! I owe you guys a round of beers at RTTC and SEMA. :cheers:

Matt
