Curious if anyone has tried these and if so what did you think?? I am looking for a pair of flares to give me about 5-10mm of clearence, so I will be cutting the originals, and I really don't feel like going the whole widebody route.. I was looking at universal flares and came across the ventshade, but I can't seem to find a big pic of them. THanks for the info.

Looks like a universal stick on kit from like Autozone or something to me...I wouldnt recommend cutting your origional fenders and using these, they're most likely extremely flimsy urethane and I'm almost positive they just attach with double stick tape.

I've never seen them in person but I'm gonna venture to guess that the aVs flares are held on by 3M double-sided tape and don't do anything except for give the look of a widebody, which in your case is about as good of an idea as buying stick-on hood pins instead of using real ones :dunno: Omni's race car with the F2 flares on stock bumpers looks absolutely amazing, I'm totally in love with that car and how it looks :eek::hump:

Do a search in Rigz Kyle, I know there were more than those two that he took not too long ago ;)

Ok now the big question.. how did you make the bumper fit?? That's exactly what I'm looking for, although I think I would have to throw on some spacers to get the right look with just a 40mm offset and 7.5 rims.

edit: and wich lip is that?? and are the side skirts mandatory to make it look right??
