I don't like the RWB bolt on, although the widths make me go gaga... |

Anybody can hack flares off and bolt RWB flares on. Takes virtually no skill. |

I agree. That car looks pretty cool. Its when they mold in the rockers that they've gone too far.

Yeah, sometimes I get the urge to go super wide with my car, but then I think about all the extra cost, new wheels/tires, bodywork/paint, new bumpers and its just not worth it. Its basically just adding a bunch of weight to the car with the primary benefit being that it looks cool.

Do see the point now about looking cheap, but RWB bolt ons look far cheaper to me.

I thought the bolt-ons were hideous when I first saw them but after seeing some 934s they kinda grew on me.

I always thought the bolt-on/riveted look was kind of neat like the 934's. I've thought about doing a similar look to my SC A pic of my previous car:  .

Rauh Welt modified (still does?) cars with grafted flares as well: RWB 964 WIDE BODY and http://rwb.jp/rwb-style/rwb-930-wide-body/
Almost all the early cars had them grafted. Last edited by Crown; 03-04-2016 at 02:53 AM.. |

Opels are cool little cars. They are what got me into German cars. I've had several. A Kadett wagon, Rally, 2 Mantas and a GT. The little Rally was the quickest one.

 My first car, at age 14, was a GT . . . Dad bought it and I made $25 a month payments to him for a couple years. Bought a better one about three years after the first and that one was the first car engine that I overhauled. Almost every part for them, including engine components, were available from JC Whitney. They are slower than the slowest of slow, but at the time, I felt like John Holmes driving the ole' Opel. |

lol, hey my little Rally was quick. I once raced my buddies bone stock smogged out 305 Camero and actually won. That Rally could chirp the tires in 2nd gear every time.
