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.

Ok, you guys with gt flares ain't gonna like this:

I have always thought the gt flares are just butt ugly. Ruins the body lines, which were perfect to begin with. I know they have a function on a race car, but I don't think they had looks in mind when they were designed.

Just my opinion.

Curt, What do you think about the subtle flares on the first pic I posted at the top of the thread? Do you think they're too distracting from the original lines of the car? When I came across that picture my first thought was "those are probably the most natural looking flares I've seen so far".

PS. How's the weather over there? Any progress on my car or is everything on hold until I can drive over for cleanup duty? Im keeping my fingers crossed that next Saturday's forecast stays in the 50's with no snow for miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
