FLARES.....

[nickmyron]

I was looking at flares from james duff, wildhorses, JBG, Toms bronco parts and ill i could find are flares that use rivets.....
I really think that the rivets look ugly and wanted to know if there are any that dont use rivets...??? I have seen a few flares that the rivets arent that big...thats probly as close as im gonna get, huh?

Also, i want flares that dont go back so far....i have noticed a lot of flares (mainly rear) go down at an angle instead of straight down.....I really dont like the looks of this either.....do you guys know of any that arent like that?

Any pics would be great ;D

You are shoot out of luck. All flares are that way. If you want something else , you will have to do the front fender to rear quarter panel mod. OR , go get yourself some conduit, sheetmetal, bondo and make your own. Sorry to have to give you the bad news

I run the Pacer brand Flexy Flares on my truck. I think they are darn good looking, great performing, very durable flares, and they do not show rivets either.

You can look at them here

And buy them at places like J C Whitney or Auto Barn for about seventy three dollars and that is for all four wheels with mounting hardware.

Don't be misled by the cheap price or lack of fame and popularity, they are darn good flares. Take a look at my truck over at the gallery or on the left at my avatar and see what I mean, not bad for the price in my opinion.

are these formed flares or flexible.. by that i mean can i make them for as big of a wheel opening as i want?

Which one did you get? Most application appear to need a lip. My rear quarter has already been cut. Did you use the flush mount version?

I have the expensive ones (73.95) and they are very flexible but somewhat pre formed with a slight curvature. They are designed to fit any opening up to 60 inches and they bend to the shape of your cut. My rear openings are exactly 60 inches, so no trimming was needed. But if you want a smaller opening you just trim them at one end.

These are the ones I have

astark.. i don't know if you're familiar with/have seen the gorilla warflares.. i guess my question is.. can i make those flares work on an opening as big as a gorilla warflare can? (to the body line etc)

 

[astark]

Yep, you sure can teknalee. But you would need to get the 25 foot section and cut it to fit. Measure what your cut at and see. But I think you could do all four openings with 25 feet.

You must make your own with pipe and bend it to your liking

I thought duffy was offering some without the rivets visable.
