    wow, i didnt know anything this dope existed in fl lol. If you could achieve what the flares do in metal, this would be one of the hardest miatas on earth.

    I have seen the build thread on this car, and while you wouldn't guess much fender work has been done.. quite a bit of metal has been added to give the flare that much extension.. methinks you are about to embark on a similar journey to obtain the fitment you seek.
    do you have a link for that build thread? i'm bored ha

    Heres a perfect comparison of a stock TL quarter panel.

    ^That white TL looked perfect yesterday, I am very much against extended fenders for the most part but his looked fantastic.

    thanks man. i really want to do something similar to the flairs, but made out of steal, molded in super smooth.

    be different and do some custom metal flares.. if you have access to a fab guy, then I'm almost inclined to say, "you have no excuse." ;0

    I think this has the potential to be one of the most aggressive NB's out there, especially when your talking about custom J-Lines... execution will be everything though.

    i dont really want to use these flairs. im gonna talk to my fab guy at work tomorrow and see what we can come up with. i like the way the flairs look im just not much for the frp that close to my tires, and i like a smoother look. i dont do the mold frp to steel stuff.

    didnt bring the car home today. instead i threw on one of my brothers wheels. 15x10 -25 diamond racing wheel. 195/50 stretched on it. i put it on the rear first it sat right on top of the tire. which worries me because my 15x12 +10 would stick out another 15mm. probally a whole inch including tire. i brought the slide hammer out again and pulled some more. then uses a hammer and dolly to give it some shape again. i also added a shit ton of camber. i got it to the point that it would roll, i had to trim another 1/4 inch off the inside fender well. the front just took a hard pull. after all this i threw the flairs on just for fun. heres the pics...
