Not necessarily, with the arches rolled, plastic inners removed and hard suspension it may be ok

Quite liking the black roof idea. Think it looks good on silver cars.

Window Tints... Not such a big fan unless very subtle, look a little bit tacky when they're dark IMO.

yeah it looks like the standard front and rear bumper..... so no flaring involved.

I said rolled

What exactly is flaring?

david burton · Post by **david burton** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:36 pm

oh yeah, sorry I thought somewhere it said flared!

flaring is where you pull the arch outwards to give a wider stance. more often than not it breaks the paint so the whole wing has to be painted. not for the faint hearted!
