Flares on an Elan
Posted: Wed May 30, 2018 5:28 pm
I have been agonizing over fitting 26R type flares to my car for the past year. The problem is that my car has a fairly decent paint job and small, but not very attractive flares already. I am aware that this is big job hence my hesitation-the car is running and driving very well but that 26R look is so good...
One question for those who have done this job-Since I installed 26R style covered headlights last winter and went to a huge amount of trouble making sure the plexi covers fit nicely I am concerned that I will have to do it again if I go the 26R flare route. Is it possible to do the 26R flares without touching the headlight opening?
