Wheel arch flares / extensions

[AKKO]

I know it all comes down to personal opinion but what does everyone honestly think of these, do people prefer them on Galants Vs Legnums or not at all?

I've got a set that are yet to be finished/painted/fitted, just trying to decide if i want to go a head and get it done.

Car is going to be in the panel shop anyway so it's by no means a special trip to get them solely done...

Thanks

personally i think they look alright, which is why i wanted a facelift vr4. it gives the car that evo6 rally look, but a bit more subtle.

the only prob is modifying them so wheels fit. can be done however.

I've owned facelifts with and without. I think that they do look good both with and without them.

To me it is more important that having the wheel arches means you've got the highest end model available

I was going to fit Escort flares (Yes they would've been epic) to run epic wheels...... Only problem was they stuck out half a foot from the car and looked like overkill.

WHY do you want to run them?

I like them on my Galant, but mine may have been modified by the previous owner because they are only on the outside. Wider car = faster mid corner speeds, the Cyber Evo below was the winner at the 2110 Time Attack challenge at Eastern Creek, wide body kit, + flares, and the wheels were still sticking out a couple of cm.

Depends on whether your wheels need the flares

Flares do look good especially when you have rims with a dish.

 

[AKKO]

Ok so my decision has been made a little easier in that I now have a keen buyer for the Evo rims should I decide that I need to get new ones after fitment of the flares haha

I voted neither. Look cheap IMO.

 

[steveP]

I didnt vote, because you didnt have a 'Both' option. Seems unfair to have to pick between vr4's.

 

[ygoslo]

Nah, just pick Galant. We both did when we laid down the cash...

 

[steveP]

True lol.

Likewise I picked when I bought a Galant
