I decided to install the flares while I had a brief uninterrupted moment.

I've got to tell ya'll, After 22 years of being in the bodyshop business and the what feels like thousands of aftermarket trim/mouldings/ground effects we've installed, these flares were in the top 5 of most ill fitting POS.

We work with Street scene stuff all the time. It's fair at best but these flares SUCK.

Anyway, got them on, after a few modifications, they look decent and will look better with the tires and wheels on.

Just venting.

I like flares on sports car, but not so much on offroad rigs. Maybe my opinion will change with some pics though. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Not all flares are bling. Some serve a purpose.

Damnit, I agree with the man chick http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

How are the spotted owls doing BTW Jen? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Correction! One spotted owl. I bumped in to the tree and the eggs fell out. She's a little pissed right now but the owl egg soup sure was tasty! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Guess I'm not helping with that little "extinction" problem, huh? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

I'm with Rod, I don't consider flares "bling". If they were chrome or carbon fiber AND you didn't have bigger tires but I haven't seen one H2 on here with bigger flares and stock tires.

Any pics of the street scene flares, close up of the mods or where the fit had to be embellished?
Anybody know how big the E&G are over stock?

What purpose? Even with those big flares your truck still got dirty. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif
