our fenders are pretty wide to begin with.
with a little pull and shave(okay, maybe a big pull) people have been fitting 11 inch wide wheels.

so, no need for fender flares.

and the people that do want that extra "flare" ...they just cut and weld, so that it looks factory.


fender flares look like a tacky add on!

Fender roller and patience and you can get them a bit flared out but not necessary unless you are going with a really aggresive fitment I would say..

I rolled my rears in case needed for wider rims but I believe they would have cleared possibly with no rolling..

I don't know if his were S2K ones, maybe "universal" ones.

I'd rather justnspace's idea of cutting and welding for a cleaner look.

^^My god, that guy knows his car is a TL right? If he slaps on one more accessory onto the exterior of that car I feel like it's going to transform into megatron or something. :-O

Most any TL can't pull that stuff off, but on Eric's, it just kinda all works. Maybe coz of that supercharger under the hood...

Fender flares, who needs those? Widebody kits are where it's at.

People run Karlton flares on subies, I wonder if you could fit them onto TL's, they're basically a universal flare, but pretty expensive

There's a couple other threads here with cars that have pulled fenders. It won't look good unless the car is completely modded out. Slammed with wide wheels and bodykit.

I think the j's racing widebody kit for a s2000 will work on the TL. That should do the trick. (just came up with this idea moments ago)

Not unless I become crazier than I already am haha. I think that kit is around $7500 so it would be less expensive to just have someone design some one off fenders and they would probably look better too than trying to figure out how to put a s2000 version on the TL.

I would check Autozone for fender flares. They're usually chrome.
