ok guys, this is to get your opinion on my new idea..

like some of you know, i have a rk sport skirt and i matched it up wit a set of zq8 flares that i had to cut off to fit flush with the skirt kit..

i thought of trying to copy the way the extreme flares hangs down lower the fender line by cutting a bit more of my zq8 flares off to be able to lower them a bit... i thought about 1/2 inch or something close to like that...

all this to reduce the fender gap...

Im gonna have to remplace the plascti retainers by stainless bolt and im gonna also need to shim the gap between the fender lip and the flare lip.. but i think this might be a good way to reduce fender gap and fake a lil half inch drop all around...

the more i look at it the more i think that if i lower them the flat part of the fender will start showing up on top...
