#1, keep to the roots....

Definately #1.

I like Style #2 better, since M3-style flares always look great on an E30. The unpainted pic of Style #1 looks a little mudflappish to me, with the flare being squared off behind the rear wheel. On the other hand, you could paint little Yosemite Sams with "BACK OFF" slogans on the bottom of the #1's...

Doby, what about option #3:

HOT!

#1 is the hotness.
But how well do those little bumper extensions/add-ons hold-up?

Why is it less work but more expensive?

Akard's car looks awesome in person. Voted #2 since it seems to be proven from what I've seen at Summit.

#1 is teh seks on e30's

Which one will hold more tire? ;)

Ziiiiing!

#1 for shore.

definately option #1

john, i'll have a hybrid of 1/2 posted up before we leave for nationals ;)

although i like 1 better, these mother fathering rimz and 18x315 hoosiers and wingz and splitters and diffs are expensive... so had to make a compromise... POOR :(

Garrett, I can make the E30 style fenders with just sheet metal. To flare it the other way I need to buy E46 M3 front fenders which are a fortune, but it's basically cutting the flare out and welding it on.

I always prefer the boxy fender flares.

they both look pretty good, but I'd much rather have #1

this angle looks mean!! i wonder what it would look like without the MTechII Kit.I think the MTechII Kit helps the lines out..

Basically any other Flare i have seen doesnt compare to his nicely crafted peice.

Looking at these pics, #1 really is a looker! I'd ditch the wing and just keep the lip spoiler-that's sweet looking.

And a decent English wheel is stupid expensive. Maybe if I did it for a living.

I still say #1 and I also think you should give current and former MARBs a discount :D

#2 looks more like Evo flares. :eek:

Evo

Oh. :(

Lancer Evo. double Oh. :( :(

#1 with big offsets making the ass look REALLY MEAN!

John, check this out. Saw it on another board.

They've got one for sale, it looks like.

john, here's maybe a way to do a #1 style flare without an english wheel or an expen$ive e46 m3 fender.

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/9027/flareframeatrideheightvd0.jpg

that's brazing wire glue together to make a frame. i subsequently glassed a peice that sits up against the body, then fleeced/glassed over the frame subwoofer-box style and my buddy is gonna do the bondo so we can make a mold for cf flares. the boxing of the frame makes it very sturdy and it allows you to articulate the wheel up and down to check clerances without having to get under the car. i wanted more of a bubble-like "hamman" look to the ones i'm making so i did it this way. also, the e46 m3 fenders are too RICH :(... this way was like 10 bux of material to do the mold.

if you change the brazing wire to piano wire and used strips of sheet metal instead of fleece, maybe you can get a #1 style flare without $pending the ricockulous amount on the e46 flares.

You could use aluminum foil and save even more weight, too. ;).

I saw that, but it's not needed at this time and I'd rather spend the money elsewhere.

BTW, I MADE my 17x8.5 Kosei's with 245/40's fit last night:

doby, how did you do the front on that? call me up, wanna do the same to my front if time permits. the composite method has too much cure time involved, so metal may be faster...

Hammer and block of wood. Just hammer the bottom of it until the crease is gone.
