At some point I would like to install steel flares on my car but due to the cost I am thinking about buying a set of fiberglass flares and rivet them on. I assume the cut you make to the stock fender for the fiberglass flares would be the same as the steel flares. Would I just purchase the fiberglass flares, for example, from Auto Atlanta or is there a kit you can purchase that includes flares with the rivets? Here is an example I found on this site.
