So Whats Involved with Installing Fender Flares?

The latest trend for the past 2 years has been all focused on widebody kits and fender flares.  We dabbled in this fun with our Project Focus ST flare kit as well.  Most likely you are tuned into the trends and have seen the Liberty Walk take over with cars like Ferrari, BMW, Lamborghini, Porsche, and even now the Maserati.  Another Japanese company called Fairy Design, has their own take on the fender flare movement with the Mercedes CLA sedan.  Those cars look pretty rad all hunched down with the mega flares, but what is involved in installing them.

If you want to go wide, the first thing you are going to need to do is get wider wheels and tires.  The obvious reason you can go from a 19×8.5 to say a 19×10.5 is that they would rub like a mofo!  So what is hidden under these flares?  Cutting, cutting, cutting.  Just as we did on our Project Focus ST, you have to cut the body.  Not a lot, but enough where there is no turning back.  When done right, these kits give an entire new look and styling to what is generally a slim lined car.  Check out these pictures of the Fairy Design Mercedes CLA 250 or CLA 45 Kit installation to understand what is involved.
