I'm thinking that I will be doing a custom rear 1\4 flair with another rear 1\4 panel. It won't be a "widebody". Rather it will look factory but be an inch to two inches wider.

Have you thought about adding smooth flares or doing a pull on the rear arches?

I saw sometime back a guy who molded in 1st gen mx6 rear QP to a mx3, as that have a protruding flare to them.. Just an idea

My biggest concern is to maintain the factory body line. Solo, if you can direct me to a pic of that mx6 flair I would def. like to check it out.
