Hey Guys, you know I was just messing around. Don't mean to start a heavy debate about custom vs. stock. Just me, trying to be funny.
Seriously though, I know what you mean. I have seen way too many Vettes with HIDEOUS flare jobs. I mean the kind that look like the flare kit came free with a bowl of cereal, and fit the car about as nice as me in high heels!
When I was building my car, and I told people in advance I was flaring the fenders, I typically got a blank stare, or some kind of comment back in person or via email about..."well, if it was my car, I would not do it, .... they never look right"
You see, I knew EXACTLY what they meant. So, my challenge was to pull the whole package together and make it work. I had already spent just over $500 on the raw flares, and could not return them!!!!!!
There are many people that still hate the look of my car, because they just don't like customs. That is okay with me. The trick is however, to build the car as a package, and mostly to pull the wheel and tire combo together to make it all work.
If I had it to do over again, I would do the exact same thing. I guess that says it all.

and you can see more of the flare process in action on the Sister to Killer (which I call Bruiser). Look for this car to prowl the streets in a few short months.
