I know these flares are not the norm, but I'm kind of digging them. Something a little different. Has anyone ever seen these flares for sale anywhere?Attached Image

I've read that term "rabbit flare" before. Are rabbit flares something that gets welded on or are they formed from the existing fender?

All metal flares are welded on, there are no complete fender stampings.

Below are pics of a 914 with VW Rabbit flares welded on:

Hand formed out of sheet metal without a doubt. Nice that they were made to fit the GT rockers & bumpers.
