One more example of how box flares make everything awesomer:

Check out this Gemballa Mercedes SEC.

Guess what has been added to the short list. . . .

^ Oh mama.

I just wanted to see this one again - and now...I'm a half-dork.

^that X1/9 makes me wish I was about 4 inches shorter.

Everytime I see a X1/9 with flares I have to check craigs for any for sale close.

In reply to RossD:

The paint might not be my cup-o-tea on that mk2 escort, but holy-schmoly that build is crazy! Thanks for the link. Damn British get all the good (small) Ford products.

I never should have sent my X1/9 away.

That's the downsized, sport compact version of Black Beauty, the Green Hornet's car. If you look closely, you can see Kato playing invisible ninja.

IIRC, that is something russian...

I've seen screwed or riveted on black flares on a variety of vehicles. I can't believe they are vehicle specific. So where do I get them. They look like the pocket flares you can get for full size trucks. Are people just using these and cutting them down? Any ideas?

These?

These are from classicdatsun.com, a lot of the 1st gen RX7 guys run them.

Looks (vaguely, at this point) like a Lada Riva.

Yes, those.

Beetle owners will use them too... soon.

One day I want to run some 15x8s on my FB, and I think I'd need those flares.

That is one interesting yard. Is that some sort of Transit van truckette in the background?

And that is a Lada, isn't it?

With a little digging I can now tell you that that car above is a Lada 2105 (so yeah it's a Riva) that has received a Twin Turbo Skyline engine http://www.topgear.com/AU/assets/cms/43bfdb02-32db-45d1-a3e1-15d256d0f95f/670x377Image.jpg?p=090529_08:54 (dont know if that pic worked) Also its called Adrenaline!!
