Can anyone post pictures of where your flares and rockers meet, both front and back?

I second that request. I'm especially interested in any that were made from steel.

Not my car, I met this guy at marks (euro911) he has a bodyshop in San Diego county. I know he really worked hard on this car to make it perfect. The body color painted rockers seam easier to see.

LOOOOOOOOOVE all those cars.

Does anyone have any close-ups of where the flaring of both the fender and rocker meet? I'm working on that right now, and need to decide whether I'm going to "indent" the rocker a bit, or whether go flush as if it is continuing.

Yes, Stock it was a bolt/nut and a rubber "donut" for lack of a better term. One on the front and one in the rear.

My rockers fit a little different do to the outer long Mayer install, I had to do some fabricating on the top edge angle as they dont
angle in as much as those without the Mayer kit.

I'm trying to decide between that or having them recessed a bit, almost as if they are an inch in.
