Don't fit, tried them on my cluster. The pins on the cluster are too big, so the needles won't press into place.

I drilled one of the needles out and even after I got it to fit onto the cluster there was about a 5cm overhang past the markings on the gauge.

I'm sure you could cut them. But at the end of the day painting them properly would be less of a headache and cheaper

Update plz

Yeah, I agree. I have the Rieger rear diffuser as well and I hate how it just cuts off on the sides. I'm trying to figure out the best look for it, and I like what you've done.

[ShocknAwe]

Skirt extensions and diffuser mod looks amazing. Really gives it the extra touch. Well done.

[inFamousKicks]

The craftsmanship is A1. Great job.

[Orangee94]

freaking amazing i was looking at adding rear diffuser extensions for the reiger rear also becuase of the sudden cutt off from the side vieww

[VMRWheels]

I love what you did with it! Great job!

[Yeineken]

Looks very mean!

I hate to be that guy.. but it really bugs me that the rear flares are the only rivet style on the body. I really hope in the future you have them smoothed out! It really completes the car in my opinion.

Regardless awesome build!

I agree that it looks a bit obvious, but if you smooth it out, then you'll see that the fender lip widths are different, and the lines dont perfectly match up, and the rear portion of the widening is cut off, etc etc. All of those kit imperfections would become glaring IMO.

If you leave it open riveted, it looks intentional. For what it is, I'm a fan of its current form. He did a very good job executing it and it is hands down by far the best workmanship with a kit like this yet.

My first initial idea was to do the current diy extension

But my success with one off sideskirts splitter that i made boost my confidence so i went a head with it and it turned out great

First off awesome photshop skills!
But i agree with ShocknAwe specially on the rear bumper part

Its hard to notice but the skirt skirts extension i made has the washer and bolt like the one on the rear flare rivets!
That was my way of some how tie'ing them together(extending the rivet'ish style in the front)
Perhaps if use a silver color bolt it will show more

I will aso create the same piece and paint match it this time
So the bolt/washer will pop more extending the rivet'ish style in the front

Exactly! took the words out of my mouth
I was really glad that project jayden molded his because it erase that thought in my mind to do.lol

Most importantly after having experience wth handling fiberglass
I would never mold a fiber glass to the body specially in the fender
Why? because they will break easy
Imagine you hit or smash your stock fender. Most of the times you will just correct the paint and worst case its dented and needs some bondo work

Imagine the same scenario with fiberglass fender that shit will break!
the shop labor hours that requires to fix it is just not for me.
But if you have a fat paycheck book or deep pockets disregard my comment.lol

With the rivet flare if i smash it i would just get another flare and be done with it lol

Agreed!
I had thought about the N5tuner flares, or even the Prior Design flares (I think that's fiberglass), but I look like the flush look of the rear flare. I was fortunate enough to buy the OEM quarterpanels at a fraction of the price.

Love the car! Are you still planning on getting a 1M rear bumper, and blending it in with the flares? A quad exhaust would really do justice!
