Trying to get the profile of the rear flare to match up to the GT rockers. It seems like I had to take a lot of material off the bottom of the flare to get it in where I wanted. Are there any standards that say how far in/out the flare should be as compared to the stock fenders?
Take a look at the pics below. The front portion of the flare has been trimmed to bring it closer to the body, while the rear has been trimmed so the rough edge (where it gets welded to the body) sits flush. Should the front and rear be flared away from the body equally?
