Hasnt anyone rolled their fenders before? Well the paint on the wheel well section of the quarter panel was grinded off, then banged out with a hammer(flare), then smoothed out, light layer of bondo to smoothen surface, primered, sanded, then the whole quarter panel was repainted. AcuraTLS03, sent the pics, thanks for the host. The wheels I cannot disclose what brand theyre but they look dead off the 96-2000 stock 16's, only in 19's, ahaha.

Nice job!! How much did the job to create the fender flares in the rear cost you? Did u do it because the wheels were rubbing or just for looks?

the flares on the qtr would cost about $1300.00 but since i did it myself it wasn't that much...... yes, the qtr was flared for the looks and so that it wouldn't rub on 245's.... and i let you guys know what kind of wheel they are later on...

if you guys notice, his rear wheel wells are wider than stock. so its almost like he has a wide body.

in my opinion, that looks off the chain. the flared fenders look very nice and smooth and not over done, which is great. props on a bad ass clean ride.

Thanks for your comment. I see youre one of those people that are very noticed to details. Reason why I cant say what kind of rims they are is because Im going to sell them in a few months and I will say then what kind of wheels they are.

Wheels are called Allure by Ace. I was just thinking about putting a set of those on my '00 WDP. Can't decide between the Allures, the Ace Zeus, or Giovanna Genoa. Being a newbie, I have tons of threads to look through to get some more ideas on wheel selection.
Nice, VERY Nice!!!!! Looks GR8!
