Cheap Flares

Post by Jonezy01 »

Wat is the best stuff to use for flares, im getting new tyres and rims but they are gonna stick out side the gaurds, not worried about how it will look just want to try a keep it legal while on road the back will be fine as its for a single cab ute just need something for the front.

P.S. Im trying to keep it as cheap as possible to!

Cheers Jonezy

G'day mate I got a 10mtr roll of molded wheel arch flare from a joint down in Melbourn for 100 bucks delivered to Sydney. Ya just cut it to lenghth and tech screw it to ya guards.Sticks out bout 75mm. Or go to Bunnings and get some plastic garden edging and do the same. I'll try look up the joint I got the molded flair from if ya keen.

Agree with the Bunnings garden Edging, very easy to trim with tin snips to get nice curves and looks like a proper flare extension.

Its very cheap and very good

Forget all that, go find yourself a real estate sign, cut to size, couple of coats of SCA gloss black and bolt on.
All done.
I have these on my hilux.
A bit bodgy, but you said you wanted cheap :D

wow. i think he is possibly one of the unluckiest people ive heard getting pulled over. well i guess if you put it that way it might pay to get fibreglass ones. just check all the legal bullsheet first i guess.
