What do you think about BOX FLARES on a 3g sedan?

[visal911]

My quarter panels are really rusted out so i was thinking of fixing them up with my friend using bondo etc. Anyways i'm a huge fan of Box flared fenders and rallying(specially the group B cars) i was wondering if i could put a small box flare on my 3g sedan. Not a huge one, just a small nice and subtle one. What do you guys think? and what kind of wheels would look good with them?

Or should i just stick with the original look? Has it been done before?

Thanks in advance

I think it would look pimp with the right body kit. It would be a lot of work though to get it to come out right. Are you looking to buy flares or make your own?

I think it would turn out looking like this.

Do giant back ones and dual rear wheels.

Box flares on a sedan.... no.

The rear door is too close to the fender arch.

Just get replacement panels and weld them in.

I thought about getting some off an 80's jetta and trimming the back ones to fit.

I was thinking of making my own or getting one from another car but its gonna be pretty hard and i will have to make my sedan a coupe, which i wouldnt like that much..i dunno

Thats what i fear will happen to mine if i get it "wrong"

Lol that would look pretty funny...Like how clarkson did with his miata in the middle east epsisode, if u guys watch top gear....?

Replacement panels? You mean cut and weld?

is there anyone who done it before here? i mean that will be pretty tricky to get right. What do you think about bondo?

old school Audi quattros are "sickkkk" and all the old Lancias ( 037, S4, Stratos, integrale) and the escorts....don't get me started on rallying lol

I actually have a idea behind my head to prepare my 3g to go amateur rallying in my area...with the the huge fog lights in the front near the pop ups, spare wheel in the roof and the rolll cage etc and the Alitalia paint job...just a dream though.

the 3gee is a great platform for any autosport that involves handling. it amazes me that i cannot get my 3gee to break loose in any way no matter how hard or fast i hit a corner on the street. and all i have is stock suspension and a set of toyo proxie. great potential!

sorry for helpin threadjack

Not trying hard, I see. I've never had a problem getting the rear end out on a 3gee.

...or letting the front end slide out in front of you. Or that's just me...

Less front bar or more rear bar helps with understeer. If you're plowing hard in a 3gee, I suspect you have suspension issues. They were balanced towards understeer, but I've gotten several 3geez to oversteer without mods at all.

Yeah same here, even in the wet i can take right angle turns without sliding at all at 60kmh on second gear with decent tread. They are amazing!

Lol that could happen in any car if you come at a corner way too fastt!!
