Sorry if asked tons of times before...
How have you located the height of the AA metal GT flares? The lip at the bottom (which needs trimming)....to what area is this aligned with? The stock lower fender has several bends and bevels, the new flare is flat. I'll try and post a picture to help explain my question, but those of you who have done flares probably get what I'm asking here...(?) Thanks |

Ben / @MB911 can probably explain it better than me but basically 3 points at a right angle to the wheel opening - top, leading edge, trailing edge, then hang the flare on those right angles. So basically the lip of flare is in the same location as the lip of the original fender. The rest of the flare is metal worked to fit.
Rockers are trim. They get fit once the flares are in place. |
