Mark,

No need to call on mine! I called them this morning and they gave me a tracking number (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

She was a bit short on the line saying "If you provided an e-mail address we sent it to you"

What ever! They will be here on Wednesday!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Thanks for all of your help!

Steve, when did you install yours, and what did they charge you?

Did you have the car painted there at the same time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Mine showed up last night and I had to run out to the garage and tape them up.

(IMG:http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/fender.jpg)

Is there a quick way to tell the right from left front flare?

I couldn't say for sure, Wes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ... maybe try swapping them and see what they look like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

On a serious note;

I'd like to know how many people are going to weld them in their self.

Are you planning on laping the joint or butt welding it.

If you took them to a body shop, would you expect them to be butt welded or would it matter to you.

I just got mine. I am going to butt weld them on myself. Just to be different I am using my gas welding rig as it works fantastic on sheet metal.

The guy I bought it back from had it sent out by Otto's so I don't know exactly what Venice Beach, formerly Beach Boys Racing charged him. They did the work January of 2006. But several years ago they quoted me $400.00 a corner to weld them on and blend them in or $2500.00 to do the whole thing with a Paint job. BTW they did not paint the car. I now have three shades of silver on my car. I bought the flairs from AA when they first started making them, but never installed them and included them with the car when I sold it back in December of 2005.

I'm gonna (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) mine for sure. The bigger question for me is what to do to protect the paint from rocks thrown up by the wheels as these fenders will be essentially unlined. The two simple options would seem to either be to Rhinoline the insides versus building a steel innerliner. Both methods could have the risk of trapping moisture and hence leading to rust. What have the rest of you done to protect your outside paint from rocks tossed from inside the wheel wells?

Check out 3M undercoating. It comes in a spray can and is available at just about any automotive paint supply shop.

It sprays out kind of like a tar and then foams up.

It can get real messy, but works great (also helping fill out the back side of the weld).
