Exclamation RS flares

What's the difference between RS and SC flares?
If there is.

there is....
from memory it is the shape of the opening when you look into the fender opening from the side

can't remember which, but one or the other has a flatter top part that the other...this is exaggerated

I thought it was more of the lip shape. right on the exterior 1/2 inch from the edge all around the fender lip the RS polls then bends under into the lip where the SC has a sharp crease then goes under the fender lip

For example if I got a grinder and held the sanding surface in the same plane as the wheel and pressed it against the fender...if you make it flat that is SC

hope that makes sense

WOW,

Thanks for answers guys.
So they are different , well for purist.
But if I have SC flares on my RS clone it's fine?
Most people don't know that.
