Are the flares the same on 2 Door and 4 Door?

I have a 2 Door, just want to know if I could put flares off from a 4 Door on it. (After I chop them up of course)

I'm not positive, but I thought the rear flares were slightly different.
Anyone... am I wrong?

I have 4 door chopped flares on my 2 door. They may be slightly different, but they work.

Those look great!
What do you have for a lift and tires?

I have a 3" suspension lift with a 1" body lift. The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's (35 x 12.5 x 17). I like it but i will eventually put a 4" long arm lift and different rims and tires.

I was just about to ask the same thing. You got me considering it when I get larger tires.

Some have used a knife, others a dremel with cutting wheel, and I think someone even used a jigsaw. The key is to cover the edge with adhesive door trim, which really cleans up the cut and gives it a nice finish.

For those uninterested in doing the work themselves (for fear of screwing it up), this would be a really easy job for an automotive upholstery shop. They would also have ways of cleaning up the edge, including the use of door edge trim as previously recommended.
