Hey guys,

I will have the modified flares to match the fender curve and with indentations to take bolts. If a person does not want to use bolts I will fill the indentations up.

That way would be the easiest. Otherwise it would be hard trying to please everybody.

Cheers,
Roy


P.S. very nioce flare kit...If someone has the abplug ones I would replicate them too...


sounds good... now get on it.... :)

Sounds good. Anybody who is not using bolts has to mold them in anyways. And primer/paint them. Filling in a few holes with filler won't take much more effort.

I look forward to these, espec. if avail in carbon.

As far as the ABFlug, I will put my opinion in that they don't match the car, and look like they don't belong

the top pic looks good but the bottom is to hard to make out and the flare dosn't go all the way over the mouldings. too hard for me to get an opinion thanks for the ps' work though! :icon_bigg

How about replicating the Kaze rear wide body fenders....

Or the S2 rear fenders.

I think these rear wider fenders will compliment the stock front much nicer then just the fender flares. The stock front already looks like it is widened, so adding widened rear fenders would match perfectly with the fronts.
Only problem buying from these shops is $1K + for the Kaze, and $900 for the S2. If these can be made and sold for $500, I would pick one up instantly.........

im not sure how i feel about the full godfather kit. its unique thats for sure. if i could get one and i had more than one mk3 id consider it.

regardless i think its cool you are going with the 2 mould thing. on a side note what am i going to do with the originals? i never put much thought into it.:icon_conf

thanks, but it's not a photoshop. it's a frame grab from a tribute video to Mike Urbano
http://www.hondahunter.com/videos/mike.wmv

and
garagefujimoto - that's the best picture of that yellow one i've seen. usually it's a small one you can't see very much detail.

If you look at the yellow supra carefully,you will notice that the flares are exactly like the ones Stanzaspeed posted in his pics...Well they are the same. But doesnt it look great on the yellow car..I think for my supra i would just mount the unmodified flares...Lol...that yellow supra with the Godfathers kit kinda looks like an enlarged toy supra pic.


Cheers,
Roy
