Wanting more tire, the time finally came to go wider body.

Here, you can see how easy and fast you can produce a good looking flare install.
I started with professionally painted flares and plastic edge molding.

Measure and mark the car carefully before cutting:

After holding/clamping the flares in their finished position, trace a light pencil line along the outside edge of the flare onto the car.
Apply 2" masking tape to the line.
The inside edge of the tape becomes your cut line: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
