Karlton Flare Help!
 
I hope i posted this in the right area?:doh::sign0085:

Hey so i recently just bought the only set made of flares by Karlton for my 2001 2DR GC and was wondering where you guys go to get them installed. I don't really want to bother Karlton so i figured you guys who purchased them from him could chime in and give me your opinion!

Anybody recommend good shops in the San Jose area? Im located in Los Altos if that helps

Also anything i need to know before installing them?

I already have the flares, correct wheel/tire set up and suspension for it to work, just need the flares installed and painted of course.

Running BC BR coilovers, 18x10+30 Rota SVNR's(might install 5mm spacers) and nankang ns2 285/30's all around. Already test fitted all wheels on car and fits perfect with slight rub on inner fender liner on full lock and its fine other than the tight fit on the rear coilover to inner tire clearance i should be good to go.

I could also try and post some pictures of flares test fitted and wheels on car if it helps

LOL That's true. I have helped install almost all of the local ones. I'd go to Apex Autobody in SJ and talk to Paul. Good guy and they do excellent work.

Ill go check em out ive heard good stuff about them. I also was just wondering if anyone was out there that may want to do it for me that had done it before. I just dont know if the body shops will do the job well enough, and if they know exactly how they go on lol

Grab some beers and [URL="http://t3hclap.com/archives/552"]do this.[/URL]

Any mock up pictures of the flares? I'm intrigued to see them if they're specially designed for a coupe.
