Can you say Bushwackers? He He just kidding.
I have thought about them as well. My plan was to possibly strip the chrome off (with a grinder of course) then prep and paint to match the car. I just like the look of a slight flare.-Bryant -
i am going to be attempting some sort of flare on my car to give it some more clearance. I haven't decided what I am going to use or how I am going to do it yet but it will be done... Well it needs to be done before next spring when I pull her out of the garage again.90 festiva BP/G25MR swap, spec v seats, aspire brakes, FMS springs, round headlight conversion with HID's, custom exhaust, fiberglass hood, and a whole lotta bodywork

Why don't you try some Mk2 Golf GTI fender flares? They should be easy to find...The left lane? Are you crazy!!! I never drive in the left lane...It's full of freaks driving the wrong way and charging right at you!!!

I've been looking at Miata flares, cheapest so far. I know that the Festiva doesn't have round fenders (obviously) but it's a start.
Thoughts?Why no, officer. I don't know how fast I was going. My speedometer only goes up to 85...

I have the feeling that those Miata flares might require a lot of fiberglassing to fit the flat fenders of a Festiva, since they're molded to follow the Miata's curvacious fenders. I still think MkII Golf GTI flares would fit better:
Plus, you could link those flares together by using that lower valence/side skirt, after you've trimmed it for lenght of course.
My 2 cents

They are in the junk yards all the time. You can try some off a corolla te27 or unversal fiberglass ones, they would be your best bet because they are not abs plastic.---------------------------------------------------

I'm due to update him again. It's painted. He's waiting for help to get it to shift. He's done it all himself and he's 71 (about).
