Flares

Where can I find fender flares for an 03 TL-S? I've seen them on lots of cars as well as my friends Audi A4 which you can check out here I want to do something similar but not too much and I'll probably add a spacer to have my wheels sit with the fender flare. His flares are actually molded into a kit.

Any ideas?

It would have to be custom, nobody makes flares specifically for TLs.

Are you serious about this project? There is another guy (FixedTL)? and he started the flares, with a Toyota Camry lip I believe, and never got around to finish it. I want to see a TL with flares and wide rims. Keep it updated.

Yeah I really want to do this project. My friends A4 has been hitting magazines everywhere and his car is a real inspiration and motivation for me. So little by little I want to do some work to my car. I'm not going for show or anything, I just like that idea of a semi-wide body.

azine is deleting everyone of my attempt at a link. hope i dont get banned for linking a forum completely irrelevant to azine. i dont get this war with every forum out there...

looks like a lot of work, but damn to be able to fit less than 30 offset is all worth it


EDIT: fuck it i give up. nazi azine > quest for knowledge

it's not pics of a flared TL it's pics of a guy fabbing flares in his garage. it's a complete DIY figured if the OP was really interested it might help him










it doesnt really make much sense without the text but it's a really good DIY

Nice work on the flaring job but he seriously needs to ditch the taillights and the wing.

did he ever post a DIY?

not to take anything away from his car, cause it is afterall the only of its kind, but a little more molding and fitting woulda made that thing stunning
