    That Supra is nice, and I"m a hardcore USA car guy. Can't imagine the money it takes to build something as nice as the cars we've been seeing in this thread.

    What are you talking about? It takes $3500 to buy this Monza!

    And its American!

    Don't know how we all forgot this one. Or have I forgotten that we didn't forget?

    Rover Metro 6R4

    As you can see, this car consists of nothing but box flares.

    I snapped this pic of an MG Metro in the basement of the Lane Motor Museum:

    Angry MG Metro

    Awesome.

    Needs them up front too..

    I think that is single rear wheels w/ the dually 'box' flares.

    If that is the true, original JBA car, that would be sweet.

    Can't recall for certain, but I believe they also did the Capri bubble-hatch thing at one time. But it seems like the Capri hatch was know to cause lift.

    No, Car and Driver did a car that they called the CRX^2. It had two Accord engines in it. This mid-engined Civic has an Acura V6.

    While box flares can usually add mega coolness to most cars, I think some are beyond help. Here's a 78 Datsun B210 I found on craigslist in Dallas.

    Is there any one in the Dallas area who can check this out for me? I think I just found my challenge car!! Might be worth the drive from Austin.

    Fox body flares? My fiberglass guy has the molds for these:

    Sorry for the bad pic, it was 1983 ;)

    Actually that car would be hot if it had wider rims/tires on it...
