same goes for neons.org.... I mean when I read the subject I associate the word Flare, as in to flare out/push outward, and Bumper to mean that the Bumper is being Flared out...... so yea

I still can't tell what you're talking about. Well I can see something but your pictures look like they are off a cell phone. You'll probably get more interest if people can clearly see the difference.

Basically guys, it's a piece of metal that you can screw into the sides of the bumpers and it pushes out the ends of the bumper where it curves inward. The unflared bumpers look weird and it also decreases aerodynamics because when at a high speed, the wind hits your tires which in turn decreases your speed. If you have the flares, the wind would just push right over everything and you'll cut through the wind. Although this is only a slight help, the main purpose of the flares is for looks.

Very subtle, but would be worth it if there was a lip going along the bottom as well.

I'm out, my bumpers are fine.
