Okay, so here's a new thread because I resurrected an old one that was off topic...yes I should've known better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Just wanting to know a little bit more about this style of fender work on the blue car.

Is this custom work or an aftermarket replacment? I don't think I've seen anything close to this in my 10 months of stalking in the forums. But my first impression is that I really like it. Subtle but still curvy. If it's custom, who among us would be doing this type of work...I imagine rolling fenders is a bit of a lost art nowadays.

If you're looking for flares to clear wider tires, a good body man, using a hammer and dolly, can work very subtle changes in the wheel opening. The shop that prepared my SCCA GT-3 car did just that to clear the racing tires at the rear. No metal or fiberglass was added, just patient re-shaping by someone who knew what they were doing (pictures show the car on street tires).
