Fender Flares?

[The Radium King]

all of those kits require fenders, front bumper covers, sometimes headlights (ie, i think the gt racing kit is a full 996.2 conversion). i think the op wants just flares. i've not seen flares done on the rear of the 986 (the air product is close to flares) but have on the front ...

Correct, I don't want the whole kit due to costs, just flares. I was wondering about something like these (not necessarily these exactly just found a more specific example)

I would cut around the air vents as necessary but just appearance wise would these look good or like crap

If you do install them please don't leave the fasteners/rivets/connectors exposed. It looks ricey and cheap... like you couldn't finish the project... like you 3M'd them on. Don't go the ugly route. Smooth. Smooth.

I think you need to decide for yourself what look you like, everyone has a different opinion and none of them are right or wrong,
I personally like the exposed bolt look, it looks purposeful to me, I don't le the moulded in flares as I think they look too try hard but that's just me,
like I said everyone's different,
here's one I especially like, a lot of people here don't like it...

also remembering that the steel fenders need to be cut and in the case of the rear welded to the inner fender for these to look how they do in the pics, if you have flares that dont get filled by the wheels it will look naff, you will not be able to easily put the car back to stock,
