using side flares where mud ones go.

So I saw this picture on here, and notice it had, at least what looked like, the OEM side aero flares behind the front wheels and before the back wheels. Where the originally go, and where the... mud flaps(aren't really flaps though..) go.

Can you do this without modifying them?

The regular side aero flares. like you have on your car.

Is it possible to put them on the front of the car, directly behind the front wheels, without any modification to the flares themselves?

They screw into the back do they not? so... can I screw them into the front?

you should be able to put it on the front i just dont know if it would look right because the gap on the front between the door cut and the wheel well is longer than the back but it should work

As was said, those are not OEM flares, but Veilside.
