I recently bought my 96 FJZ80, and there was damage to right rear, where both the flare on the door and on the body had been torn off. (The corner bumper was also off, but i was able to buy an old one and replace it myself.)
Here's the thing: I HAVE the original green body flare, but 2 out of 3 interior tabs have been ripped off. I figured a body shop would know SOME way to put it on. Nope. They say they can't, they need the trim with the tabs on the interior. Huh. I thought they'd have SOME way to fabricate them?
Also, i purchased a door flare, but it's white. And the body shop tells me it's gonna very expensive to paint, and i'm better off finding a green one.
I think i'm going to try to figure out how to fabricate an interior tabs to attach the large body flare I have. Has to be SOME way to do that. Any thoughts?
I guess I'm also going to just keep an eye open on eBay for door flares in green...
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be curious to hear!
