If you like it tho its up to you. That's just my opinion tho.

Yeah I went with the V1 kit.

So over the week day I decided to cut my front fenders and install the rocket bunny v1 flares to see what size spacers I need to order. For the fronts I ordered 1.5inch and the rears are 2inch.

Prioritizing "fit" over "drive"... Can't get down with that on these cars.

Sry not sry love all you slowpokes and your sick looking cars. to each his own as always....




Car does look incredible tho to deny this would be to lie.

I’m talking the quality of the fiberglass parts of the rep kit itself, if you paint them as they are it’s gona be super wavy and noticeable they need a bunch of time from a body shop prior to paint.

If it's the one I think it is, it's ABS and not that bad.

If he isn't buying legit flares, I am sure he knows to expect a bit more work to make them look perfect, but these fit pretty decent. Biggest issue I had was fitment with the door seam. Mine doesn't sit right up next to the seam and it drives me nuts (along with my flares paint not matching).

What's your plan for paint? i had my kit painted before install..

Won't you have to drill out all those rivets? looks good

[BreakTraction]

It doesn't need anything but paint, The ABS plastic isn't wavy I know a lot of people that have this kit and don't have any issues. Its very smooth for a rep kit all it needs is paint and a weather strip around the edge.

I don't have rivets in yet lol and I do want to paint it but might wait a bit and wrap the whole car.

Yeah I did research prior to purchasing these flares. They are actually a good fit around the doors and headlights and honestly for the price I cant complain since it is my daily. And since I now have everything cut on my car I can buy a v3 kit later on if I ever decide to make it into a show car lol.

95% of the guys that do the widebody kits don't realize how bad they are as most have never seen a properly done metal widebody that is glass smooth with perfect paint.
