What art thine opinions on them? The PO of my car effed up the fenders anyway (dented them, "flared" them with a 2x4 and a hammer :rolleyes, and then painted them satin black just along teh arches :confused) so I figured I could pick up some of these (http://store.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=ireland&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=367519557&Count2=284659981) and some wide ass wheels, along with coils of course.

Just thinking out loud :stickoutt

Post up pictures if you have any. :)

They stay off your car until you have the wheels as well.

Yeah. This has like 260 at the wheels too. I don't like VWs in general but that makes me want one so bad. I was pissed none of the pictures turned out. (friend took 'em as I was driving)

IE flares (or something like it) are what I'm leaning towards.

Is that a hint at whats going on with the army green E28 or just a suggestion?

Hoo boy, if I ever get my hands on a real cheap E30, it will get these flares. I know there are more pics of the white one floating around, anyone care to post em up?

Seriously, do that. It would look fantastic

I can't decide when I get an e30 if I want it to be clean and sexy, or look like something that clawed its way out of hell. If the latter, those flares would be :drool

Don't be so hard on her. Your car can be whatever you want it to be. Mean and used can be sexy in its own way

I'm not a huge fan of those IE ones, the design just isn't quite there. I do like a true bolt-on rivet flare, but much more like the oldschool nostalgic Japanese crowd uses on older Fairlady's and Skyline's.

Maybe black IX flares? Took a look at an IX....

(And yes I'm reposting this b/c I want to see you do it b/c I'm curious as to what it looks like)
