If you "pull" fenders like those, you are effectively just altering the flat wheelwell lip from vertical, to an angled slope... not the best look imo unless you run wheels/tires that flow with that angle. i.e. camber will then play a big role, too.

RAy if you want to save the line you need to do it with FG. Make a plug like I did on the aristo and then move it out how ever far you want then mold it in.
Or you can cut the arch off and weld in material inbetween the arch and the fender.

I thought I tought you this. :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2:

DXJP, i dont suppose you would consider doing a how-to on flat fender flares for the rear of a sedan would you? I have always wanted to know how they do the bit where the flare goes into the door...

Im sure DXJP will jump in and set it straight. But as of right now if anything I would take a look at this thread so you can see how to copy a fender you like out of fiberglass

http://vipstylecars.com/forum/index.php?topic=3447.msg39394#msg39394

Then you can take that peice and do what Maddsciontist did with his xB in this thread in the rear when putting the flair into the rear quarter and rear bumper.

I know this doesnt answer your question and doesnt explain how one would finish the flares as the insides would be seen when your rear doors are open but its worth looking at and just using some imagination possibly?
