Alright guys and gals, my car is close to completion and i need your opinion. All thats left is the rear fender flare, and well ive had people tell me a bunch of different things. Im personally leaning towards just riveting it on after the body work is done to make it fit perfect. The body shop is touching up the bottom sides to make it fit the wheel arch better and cutting the bottom side so it just bolts to the bumper (two seperate pieces). SOOOOO do i rivet it on or mold it flush people !? what do you think ! By the way thats an 18x10 in the rear.

how it sits now

Your wagon is so clean I think it needs to be fitted flush.

I don't like fender flares. If you were racing your car and it does the job you need it to do, I'd be all for it. Personally, I would rather try to find a widebody or something. It'll look a lot more clean.

Those wheels look awesome on the wagon. I voted for making it nice and flush, to go with the rest of the car.

It don't look right now that I gave it some time. Mismatched fender flares on a GD doesn't work as well as it does on the new STI.

Between the 2, molded. If those are the only rivets (not including the lip) on your car its gonna look weird.
