I actually prefer the bolt-on flares - they look tough. but I grew up drooling over competition cars with bolt-on flares...

as for looking factory - Datsun (amongst others) made a number of models with bolt-on flares. C10 & C110 Skyline GTRs, 240ZG spring to mind immediately. 240RS etc

The key to making your flares look good is about wheel choice. Bolt on, weld in or smoothed in it doesn't matter. If you don't increase the track or tyre width then they look dopey.

That green ute looks awesome because the wheels compliment the flaring job

nah, pass, on that uste although width and colour are good, screw on looks cheap and nasty. if you do it, at least blend them into the body to make it smooth.

stuff what everyone thinks, if you want them put them on. just cos one or two say they look sh1t is no reason to put them on.
make your car the way you want your the one who has to drive it.
