Default what's the difference between xenon flares for a 2-dr and a 4-dr

I knwo there was a post on this a while ago but I serached for ages and can't find it. I know they are different but wanted to know if anyone had managed to fit the 2-dr flares to a 4-dr and if so - how did that go (i.e. can you make them fit reasonably well or is it just not worth trying)

Thanks,

Steve

I've enquired about your xenon wide fenders before. How far are you from detroit, MI ? I think I can call the manufacturer and get the weight and box size so I can know exactly what shipping will cost me.

THanks

I tried to PM you but it didn't work, your mailbox is full.

What part of Maryland do you live in? I have family in Carroll County and live near the PA/MD line in York. Do you still have the flares for sale? If so, how much for the set complete set for a 4 door and are they the black finish?

Thanks. I don't suppose you ave a picture of the 2-dr fenders on a 4-dr do you blockrockin? I was trying to sell some 2-dr fenders on the west coast (WITHOUT SHIPPING) and there was some interest from a 4-dr owner. It doesn't sound as if this will work for him but I thought I'd ask as I'm curoius myself to how significant the difference is.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks. No worries if you don't have a picture - I was just curious what it looked like. The reason I asked is a few peopel asked about 4-dr fit when I posted the 2-dr fenders for sale. It seems the four door folks would be a lot better off getting a 4-dr set but given that the question was asked I thought I would explore a bit and find out the details.

Cheers,

Steve
