I personally don t like flare on these cars cause of the body line on the fender, it just doesn t flow well in my opinion and the 1/2 of lip you gain on the rim just isn t worth it. I do however appreciate how clean and smooth the work is was this shaped and refinished?

Nope not yet. soon though and the flare is not that bad I had to do it. That 0 was killing me I had to build a camber kit for the front but the hole thing came out good no crazy camber I can drive the hell out of it

Need better pictures to see how his flare came out. I think if the flare is done right via body shop it may look right. Saw an few IS which had the work done and did not look that bad. My new wheels are being built with a 4.5 inch rear so I know I may have to go that route. Is it worth it, well that depends on the individual.
