1055 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 A while ago i embarked on a mission to create a better option for the jun style fender flares so many people choose to use. I came up with a 50mm poly propylene 'bolt on' style flare. Most options out there are either ABS plastic or fiberglass, both of which have showed me they can easily be ruined. It costs a hair more to produce but holds up much better in the long run. Instead of the 240 flares that end up on our cars, the ones i have designed fit our bodies more suitably. Right now im trying to gauge interest. Im still working on pricing, it all depends on how many i make. Projected guess is somewhere between 175-250 for a set of four ready to paint. Im posting this across many boards but would like to see if its even worth it for me to go forward with. I wont be making much money off this if any, i am just trying to give our small community a much better, durable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1055 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Not mounted on a legacy, no. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/15/qy3atyhe.jpg This is my old wagon. The ones shown are cut to fit the back doors. At this ride height i was able to fit a 255/45/17 tire on a 17x9.5 +19 wheel with very very minimal fitment issues. They are fairly universal as far as fitment goes. Originally intended for the gc/gf chassis i know they will fit 1g foresters, 1,2,3g legacys. On paper they will fit any subie, along with most other small and midsize sedan, coupes and wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jf29 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you could have a picture of a 2005 legacy with the flares i might be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMahFromTheU Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Seems pretty interesting. I'd have to see it on an 05' Leggy though. I saw a member with the 240 flares seemed a bit to agressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
