I am curious in putting fiberglass fender flares on the front and back of my toyota off of a trophy truck but lowering it and putting wide dish rims on it. Here would be the fender flares: Here would be the look I would be going for: Do you think that this would look alright or would it look ridiculous like all the rest of the people that try to hard and end up destroying the car? I need a good artist to draw it for me.
Oh if you want to see more pictures of the Tundra I used in the picture and the wide body Porsche here is the links: 2004 Toyota Tundra Truck Tail Section Photo 14 Rauh Welt Begriff Porsches Ssr Wheels Photo 6
I always wondered how that would look on my truck! Can't wait to see it on yours. You might inspire me to do it to mine now haha
Yeah I am not positive if i want to go through with it yet or not but i am thinking about it. I think if done right it will look good but not too sure yet. Like i say i need someone to draw it for me. Too bad i cant draw better then my 4 year old nephew.
thats an awesome idea, I wanted to do that with my titan since I already have the bed and fenders on... but its a 4x4... Ive I ever get tired of running people over ill do that.. plus I have 22x11s with neg 44 offset so it would look hardd
Haha, I made the suggestion back in October to someone wanting to tuck wide wheels by using pre-runner fenders and was laughed at...now its a "GREAT idea".
^^^ Haha sorry about that. maybe it is the pictures i provided. I still havent decided if it is a good idea or not.
It was on SSM somewhere, owner profile or something. Was pretty rough if I remember. Think he had 22s without a lot of backspace. I think it could look good if done with the right fenders, but his where the type where the wheel well was at about the top of the hood. It looked weird to me because it barely tucked a 22, and the bed was just pulled out to clear the wheels, not fiberglass.
There is a widebody Tacoma on the custom tacos site. He used boatec glass. Clean and simple setup. Definitely one of my favorites.
I was going to do that but I going to make my wide body out off metal. If you go in to the cyn yoga build there pic of the glass bed side on there form my old baja yota. There hanging on the wall. I want to sale them.
I've talked about this so much.... 4wd fenders and your choice of fender flares. that's JUST budget. now if you wanna go all the way, get the fiberglass fenders that are FCKN flared. trucks are easy dude.
i think it would look terrible with those fenders. they have huge openings that are big even for a 30 something inch tire. put a 18 under it and it'll look goofy. the Porsche looks great because the flare fits the wheel/tire so nice. now if they were fabricated like Sean said he wants to do, and made to fit the wheel tire combo, i could see it looking awesome! lol
Yeah i agree that is would look ridiculous with the fender flares for a baja but if you i did it i would like to fabricate it to look more like the Porsche. I was thinking about learning to do fiberglass this year. I have a friend that does it so there might be a chance i do something. I would also like to lose some of the weight so i thought about fiberglass anyways.
You just need to find glass that has bulge but no lift - so stock sized wheel openings. That's what ModTaco and CharlieQ did on Customtacos. Mod did the fenders and bed flares, and Charlie just did the bed flares all from Boatec. Street Source Forums - Posts By 'modtaco'
