My main concerns were to ....
1. Have the guard cover the wheel as close as we could.... i.e. not have too bigger flare so that it would hang out over the wheel too far.
2. To make sure we started the "flare" high enough on the guard so that it didn't look "stuck on"...like an A9x...if you know what I mean.
3. Not to make it too "fat" from the front..... i,e, the guard had to more or less copy the sweep of the back wheel arch/guard, so that when you looked at the car from the front, the front and rear wheel arch/guard looked as if they were matching.
It's a bit hard to explain....but I've seen front guards widened too much , and they don't "match" the look of the rear of the car...they tend to look like they've been frogged out too much.
No 2 above was the main one to watch......
Too high and it changed the shape of the car...and too low and you had the A9x thing going.
In the end...it all depends on what the individual wants, and if it looks good to the owner...he or she is the only one that needs to be happy with it.
I'm happy with it now...so it all worked out fine.
Merv......
Just widened the front a bit...not the rear guard.
The Thunderbird IRS was great for that....gave plenty of depth for some decent offsets in the wheels.
Hope it all works!!!!!
