i have a gem pan van, Lowred about 3 inches, ( very Low) my mate has an slr 5000 bodykit from his 'rana. As he doesnt want it any more i was thinking of taking the Guards "flared body kit guards" of the rana and putting them on my gem. With a bit of work this is possible. Atm i have 16 inch alloys on it with an elastic band's worth of rubber. After attaching the guards i was then thinking of puttin 17'or 18's on . Do u guys think this would look sick or make me look like a dick????

ultimately its up to you; personally id say it would look pretty ordinary unless you kept the 'racing' theme going and put a dirty great big set of fats on it etc. cheers, goons

My room-mate has the Torry flares on her TX Coupe, it looks o.k i guess as she also has a custom rear and late model front spoiler. It was already on it when she bought it, the dude that put it on didn't do a very good job of it. They have to be bolted on a little higher than what she has, as they rub on full lock on both sides. I'd be getting a pro 2 put them on, that way you're more guarenteed of a better quality and finish, and u also have the option of taking it back if it's not applied properly.

Does anyone remember a red turbo coupe done by mike vine number plates TUR80. It had a set of flares that looked like slr style. It looked tuff with the 16 x 7s and 8s. Drove passed the other day still looks the same as the story a long time ago.

my coupe has flares it looks fuckin sic just needs another paint job one day it still looks good. but u need deep dish rims with flares so it fills them up. if u got no dish it looks fucked with rims sitting in ur org guards then having flares hanging on the side defeats the purpose of having them thats my say any way.
