All in all it is up to you, but I personally think the flares would look better and require much less work. Another thing to keep in mind, if the stock fenders are modified it can be a real pain trying to fix them. Whichever way you go, I'm looking forward to following this thread. You may have just changed my second datto from a 510 to one of these lovelies :) Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 the other thing to consider is that the zg flares are bigger allowing you to get more wheel and tire under them over the pulled stock fenders the 610s ans 710s sheet metal curves in before the fender finishes this looks like crap when its rolled so unless you really want to spend hours and hours on the fenders to get less clearnce then the zgs you already have go for it lol where did you get the zgs anyway? they look wider then the ones ive seen elsewhere Quote Link to comment
