I'm sure this has been discussed before, so my apologies for starting this question again. From what I have read, not all steel "M471" flares are made from the same stamping. Do you have a favorite or preference? I need to order a set soon
thanks |

I just flared my car with a set from Auto Atlanta. They needed a bit of work to get them to fit properly where the flare transitions into the existing fender, but nothing too crazy.
My biggest gripe would be where the stamping folded the metal into itself at the bottom of the arches. It's on the bottom of the flare once fitted to the car, so you can't obviously see it unless you look, but unless you're okay with rolling the dice and leaving folds in the metal that water could get into over time, you (or your body shop) will have to cut the folds out and repatch them.
