It's hard to blend in a composite to metal surface without it cracking over time. I initially considered blending mine in as well and opted to go with the "stick-on" route.
I know this is a little off topic, but I noticed you have the wheel fitment tool on for this pic, what was the measurements that you came up with for the flares?
Hey, so this seems to be the most recent thread on this. I’m over in the UK and am interested in pickings up the arch kit for my Coupe. Is there likely to be another GB or am I best just importing on my own, seeing as we’ve F’d up Brexit and all, and we can still avoid taxes within the EU?
At this point about the same as a high mileage early w204 c63. All kidding aside, I priced it out once and it was going to cost around 5k without taking into account new wheels and tires.
All in figure 5k and a new set of rear rims at least plus tires.... the shop needs to take the time to fit them correctly, as well as factoring in any other cosmetic trim - in my case they had to dovetail in the side moulding and rear aero bumper trim into the flare....
the upside is that a 325 fits easily.... I've got a set of 345's on order that we're going to test fit on a spare set of rims ( wife curbed a rear one badly so had to order a new set)
I researched that option - net it was about 11k for all the parts, and my shop said to figure 6-8k for install as they'd really need to paint the majority of the car.....
IMHO the rear flares are the change needed for function - the BS kit is mostly visual with little gain. Not that a BS sedan wouldn't be sexy.....
