bLinded_ Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Somewhat perfect timing of making this thread. I have this same task ahead of me, and this is a great help. Much easier to follow something with pictures than it is to go nuts and have absolutely no idea on the best way to do it. Good job :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXY-642 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 this would work for any car yes? and also is it just the outside edge that is being bought out? the bit where it goes flat? or can you do the whole standard flare to be bigger with doing this?

mungi mods Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 you can widen whole flare doing this ... can be done on any car even ones that don't have an actual "flare " section to start with my old car's guards were widened by 3 inches doing this , all factory steel with no cutting etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Good article, following these directions right now, its actually quite a basic process. Those guards are extremely malleable and don't need too much persuasion to form the shape you want. EDIT: And I'm just using a normal hammer and a block of wood. I'll put some pics up when I'm done.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I achieved pretty sweet results just with the block of wood and a normal hammer. These aren't finished but already look sweet. I did all 4 but you get the idea from these. The rear guards are a bit trickier as they are thicker and you need to do a lot more precision bashing.

lancerdup69 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 hey all, I know this is an old thread but looking for some info on flaring rear guards on my ae71. I have flared the fronts which look sweet, wondering if you have to cut the inner guard out or flare the same process and fronts with both inner and outer guards? any info and / or pics would be awsome! Thanks and will post some pics when finished :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
