One more example of how box flares make everything awesomer:

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

And its American!

FLARES!

And BOX(es) of FLARES

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:

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 ;)

Tell me where it is and I will head over to look. I am in North Dallas.

The Dallas Craigslist ad says Flower Mound. I sent you a PM

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

The rear view of that white Vette is obscene.
