Hey i always see these badass icelandic rigs with these insane looking fender flares. I was just wanting to know if there was any way to get some of those other than molding my own out of fiberglass.

i gotta get some man
Some of those "tubed" fender flares would be sick. Integrated into a set of sliders, and you'd really have something.
Hi guys.
I do have molds for those flares, though I don´t work for a company that normally makes flares, I got the molds from my uncle to make some for my truck.
Could make a few to ship but they take some work to mold on each car, not much but you´d need resin and E-glass matts.
Also they´d have to be cut in half for the rear if you don´t move the rear axle and put one piece on the door and one on the fender.
they´d look like this minus the white stuff, I didn´t have time to cut it off while it was hardening in the mold.
There is some info on my project thread (pages 1 and 2) about fitting them.

they look tops and would love a set for my rig but would be hard to mold them to my rig as i'm on OZ and my rear quarters are not straight from a trip i did on the week end

I NEED these!!!!
We should do a group co-op. Making new molds that bolt on would be easy for everyone. I'm sure there are other design ideas as well as stated above with the epoxy and e-glass gluing.
I'm in, bolt on/semi permanent would be a plus.
Making the mold would be the hardest part. Once you have a working mold, laying the glass and painting on the epoxy is easy. The best part about fiberglass is that funky shapes and curves are easy. I have access to a ventilation room that can be used to lay the fiberglass. I have limited experience with fiberglass and carbon fiber. I've done a few molds when making a fairing (big shell around the bike) for a human powered vehicle competition. I'm sure if we made about 50 to 200 sets we could easily gain our money back.
Anyone interested in designing or making the initial molds? I have limited artistic abilities.

I have some OEM fender flares sitting in the garage... I never got around to intalling them, but they stick out a few inches past the body. Maybe 2-3"...
I think they might get wiped off pretty fast. At least for me the past few times I've been out wheelin would guarantee breakage on a flair.
