Hi,
I got a pair of rear Faza style fender flares with the recesses for the bolts. I want a similar look in front. The front sold by Faza (and now by MWB) are the right shape but no recesses. I want a similar look than the Stradale car (but not a replica, I will not blend the flares with the front spoiler and round driving lights).
Rear with the bolts recesses:

The front with no recess:

My plan is to find something similar (with bolt recess, not necessarly those in the next pic, but this is the idea) in front, but I probably have to cut the flares with a straight cut in the middle. (top to bottom, not from side to side).
My question is, should I do that and
1) do some fiberglass repair from the back before fitting the flares
or
2) if the flares are really too long (which will probably be the case) should I overlap the 2 halves, put some rivets in and do some bondo to smooth /blend the overlap?
Which one will look better? Which one will be the easiest (I never did fiberglass before).
Any opinions?
This will probably not happen this summer, but since we seems to have all some time to spend on this forum, why not ask!
