Has anyone installed AA GT flares???, Have some fitment questions? Options

[East coaster]

I just received my Auto Atlanta (I know, I know, AA sucks) steel GT flares and I would love to see some pics of someone elses install procedure. I plan on butt welding the flares on. I investigated bonding them on, but even 3M states that they don't recommend using bonding where ghosting is of concern. They recommend welding for this type of application. Ghosting is described as a visable bond line through the final finish. This would piss me off, so butt welding it is!

I've held the flares up to my car and it's obvious that alot of trimming/fitting is required, just wondered if anyone took pics of this process when they did their's??? I promise to post pics of mine as I do them.

Here's what arrived.......

Saw one of the first sets on a car at Maumee last year. Search for Maumee pics- a nice blue car with Carerra lettering on the side. Buck Toengs said he placed the flares on the car, drilled a couple of holes into the outer edge and fender and screwed the flare in place on the fender.

Next he took an air powered saw and cut the flare out around the outer edge. This matches the cut on the fender and the flare so the cuts don't have to be perfect.

Then he unscrewed the remaining piece of the outer edge off the fender and placed the flare into the cutout in the fender. Place a couple of tack welds to hold in place, finish butt welds.

Buck explained he welded on the rears and couldn't get the fronts to fit. Then he realized that he had two left fronts and needed a right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Then he discovered he had welded on two lefts : (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Both rear lefts looked great though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
