I want to get some of these. I did a search in here and it came up with other carbon parts besides the fenders. I found a company that makes universal carbon fiber flares but would rather get some that are specifically made for my Xb. If i cant find some i will probably just go with the flares that scion sport sells. O yeah i want these because i am possibly getting some wheels with a 15mm offset and want to cover everything up.

unless you cut yer fenders the flares wont actually cover the tires more just stick out more.

Edit:: I think i get what you mean. Your talking about cutting them to get more clearance for the tires to go up into the wheel wells. Right?

Actually i am currently running my steelies with a tein s-tech drop and well in a period of o say 1 hour, i decided against the smaller offset wheels. I was cruising around with a toaster full (all seats taken) of friends today and got out to check how my ride height was and decided i would be much much much better off with some 40mm or 35mm offset wheels. The reason being, when i had my back seat full, my rear tires tucked under my fenders by at least half an inch. If i ran a 15mm offset my rear tires would be gone in half a second. So nevermind AND IGNORE THIS POST EVERYONE!!! But thanks anyway.

Gene has a set of cf flares on his xB. I'm not sure where he got them from.
This thread is locked, but his green xB is in it.
