By request, I'm posting the few pictures I have of the installation of my steel flares.

I started by taping them to the car to find the correct position. It's a subjective placement and I recommend NOT using FG GT rockers as a guide. Mine would have been wrong if I had. Instead, I found that the arch of the flares was slightly larger than the arch of the factory fender. I taped them on in a position that split the difference when you looked at the car from the side.
