    Here are the pictures. Let me know any thoughts on them. Positive or negative. Anything i should change?


    Without 15mm spacers.

    With spacers.




    The wheel set up i have on there now is 16x6.5 +30 with the spacers on them.

    Nice work. I like the flare. Is the vent area finished? Are the wheels and tires staying the same? Definitely better with the spacer.

    Let me see what I can find re. The RSX fender. There are at least two of them that I know of. The other guy has a silver one and races it a lot.


    Edit; nothing yet.

    Nope not yet on the vent. I think i want to push it out more maybe 10mm or 15mm.

    I would like to upgrade to something 17x9. Cause like Monjarassi said on a different forum, we really wont know how the fitment of the flare is until a wider wheel is mounted.

    I like the idea of a wider vent. Man, a 9" wheel changes everything.

    If you had put your ad up a month or two earlier, I'd have snapped them up in 5 minutes. I'd been searching for similar on several forums. What are they, actually?

    It's just the to drastic change in the overall shape of the car that turns me away from them. Don't get me wrong both guy's EPs look fantastic it's just not something i could rock on my daily driver.

    Thanks man

    So, i think going to to flare out the outer lip just a bit more. It should look more like the RSX one Hasbro posted. Just waiting for a buddy to hook it up with the fender roller.

    sickkk!
    but if i could add my 2 cents if you don't mind i think you should roll it higher up rather than in the middle like that rsx... it would most definitely make it look better and not so un aligned when it comes to the lines cause that rsx probably looks like a circle from the rear lol

    Why not get the wheels/ tires mounted to know exactly what your working with? Looks great tho.

    That's what I did, then added 10mm for the spacers that weren't on. Well, eyeballed it with my trusty mesquite branch.

    Btw, the angle of the flared white DC5 fender has a different angle from the EP.

    Update guys,

    With 30mm spacers


    Broke the plasctic piece and snapped the head of the bolt off

    Extended the flare more towards the door.




    Overall i hate that i flared that lip out. I think i fucked this project up. There is cracks that wouldn't keep an even flare that i have to fix. The whole plastic and bolt thing. The fact that even at a +15 offset they don't sit flush.

    Shit, I think i just need to sleep on it.

    oh did widen the vent which is the only thing that come out right tonight.

    Man, flaring is hard, you're doing fine. The end product will work out. And kudos to you for doing it.

    You got this! Don't give up now, if anything this means you're making progress, not failure.

    Every pioneer that's made a breakthrough had to fall first to discover what's ahead!

    I know that all sounded pretty damn lame...but I meant every word of it!!
