ok... so what are the DISADVANTAGES of fiberglass GT flares as opposed to steel fender flares? this would be for primarily a fun track car (non-competative, just HPDE) maybe occasional street use very seldom.
Should I avoid something with fiberglass? or is it not really a big deal ? |

I think my rear flares are lapped on the inside to but this picture shows different maybe the fronts are or there not, but i didn't spray it up into the metal area, i did seal it though, as it looks much better that way. I remember using a wire wheel and a disc sander very carefully to finish shaping and smoothing out the foam after the initial hack saw blade shave.
I had to reapply a few times as you can see the gaps, and sometimes it dont stick and flops off on you. Wear throw away everything clothes. "DONT GET IT IN YOUR HAIR"! Attached image(s) |
