I know, I tried pulling it out far enough to cover my 315s and its look flared at the bottom haha. I guess if you're running 275s or smaller it will look good but anything bigger and too much tire shows to even notice.

Ok. Is this your daily driver?

If so, we need to talk.

ATTN: If you have a firebird/formula with a TA spoiler you must widen your rear bumper ZexGx style.

Looks bad *** man almost makes me want to swap my bumper now lol.

I have this done on my TA bumper. Only flared it about an inch on either side though.

Looks good with large flare on the Formy though - nice job.

Looks terrible on the Camaro, but I guess nice on the Formula. Maybe if I owned a Formula I'd have a better opinion, but I don't like it at all to the Camaro bumper.

The front and rear bumpers, fenders, and doors all have that curve, so all of them would have to be flared/flattened to look right IMO.
