Anybody ever run rear fender flares
Has anybody ever ran a fender flare for the rear quarter panels so it flows better with the front flares? Throwing on some metal flares to the rear and cutting the oem fender would allow you to run some crazy ass rims setup, just curious if anybody has seen this.

There's a member on AZ with an SSM with flares. I didn't like the look.

IMO the one in the picture thread looks like complete ass..

josh chop looks good, but youre gonna spend lots of doing that one.. (Id much rather put good $$$ towards nice rims)

IMO leave it be and concentrate on other areas.
