damn.. i really dont have a clue how much it would cost. i'm going to either do a wide body or wheel flares, but i'm going to make them from scratch.... there are those universal fiberglass flares, but there would still need to be a lot of fabrication because of the way our rear door is shaped... and plus, you have to keep in mind that you might have to paint the front fenders and rear quarter panels, or even the whole car if you mold it into the body..

a friend of mine with a 2nd gen bought fender flares on ebay for cheap. Fender flares don't cost much at all (less than 100 bucks). He said it is the custom part of molding onto his car that is expensive. I think he said that labor for the molding alone was close to a grand or something like that. its crazy expensive
