Fender flares

awmenard · 02-07-2018, 06:05 PM

So yesterday I received my fender flares.

Did not want to go too crazy, 40mm/1.6 inch all around.

Weather is crappie so I didn't get a chance to try them on the car but I have my fenders at home.

Fenders will be molded to the body for that clean look.

Will keep you posted in the coming months.

Here are a few Pics.

subbed, I bet it'll look really good once molded together

Looking forward to seeing some installed photos.

Yes I have the matching rears, but it'd been snowing alot so haven't got a chance to put them on to see.

I should be meeting up with the shop that will get the work done next weekend.

I'll post more Pics then.

Got my new rims today and stopped by the shop for a quick test fit.

Wheels are Rotiform SPF 20x10 all around.

Here are a couple of Pics. Flares will be painted same colour as the car and molded to the body.

What's the eta in the install and completion?

Love to see the finished photos when ready.

They dont seem to sit too flush or are you going to be tucking?

It was just a quick test fit, I'll probably need to run 10 to 15mm spacers to be flush

Still winter here so I'll probably be bring it to the shop in a month or so. Install should be about a week.

Will reserve judgement until fully fitted at the mo they don’t look too great. Also what are you going to do about/with the bumper to body join line?

The fenders will be cut to follow the bumper lines.

If I can put it this way each piece will have its own piece molded on.

1 bumper,1 fender and 1 side skirt

that looks sick, how much is the shop charging you for that? and how much did the fenders cost and where to buy?

Fenders I got for 240$ US I think RisingTuning.com is who I got them from.

Shop is charging me 1K for the job.

grancoupef36 · 03-15-2018, 01:32 AM

any update

Seraphim38 · 03-15-2018, 10:17 AM

I love flares, but if they are molded by using fiberglass they will crack from the metal flexing with the fiberglass flares.

No updates, will get them done soon, this is what it looked here yesterday.

So probably mid April I'll bring the car to the shop.

DThr33 · 04-19-2018, 05:50 AM
