Haha yeah but my flares won't be as extreme as those going with a more shuttle approach, the main reason for the flares is the wheel well is rusted out so I have to replace the metal so I figure I'd might as well flare it so I can put some fatter wheels on. Those are cool flares though.

Flared the back of the car this past weekend.

I screwed in a couple sheet metal screws to do all of the adjustment.

Next I screwed in all the sheet metal screws so they would be easier to drill once I put the flares on for good.

Next I spot welded the inner wheel well to the outer sheet metal.

I then started to put the flare on and started grinding the inner down till the flare fit.
