930 9" front flare install. Is this acceptable?

The angle. Does it look correct? Its not pointed downward too much? Everything else lines up perfectly just want to be sure

Personal preference but I would never mount a flare without the wheel/tire also mounted and the car on the ground at loaded ride height. That is the only way you will know if it fits correctly.

The way I was told was to use a level at both the lips - original and flare so the height of the flared lip will be identical on the car to the oem one. Then do the same on the front of the lip (wheel opening) and the back. Level should be perpendicular to the car in each case, or if there is an angle, the angle should be the same for each side.
Then you fit the wheel and tire combo to the car. For me, this is the proper way. Other people fit the flare to the wheel and tire but then you might be locked into that combo forever.
Just make sure it is all fitted to your liking before paint.
