Default Team Prototype fender flares coming soon... experiences?

So I have some T.P. fiberglass flares coming soon. I kinda need em, heh...



Will also be cambering too at some point...

These flares are the same as the ones that were on Shelby's RL green xB (R.I.P.), except not in carbon.

Anyone else run these? Mine are coming pre-painted TCM so curious about what the fitment will be. Supposedly these use the OEM fender bolts and 3m tape to attach, any issues?

Thanks in advance peeps.

I'm interested in the fender flares. What condition are they in? Are they the team prototype or bBist? Any pics?
Let me know what you're asking for them. I'm in soCal.

just a warning....your gonna need something more than double stick tape to mount them.......2 people here in Hawaii have lost a flare because they were not secured properly. Epoxy and glue........also set screws in the fender lip.........You'll need the rubber gasket that you see on tacomas flares because there may be a gap in the rear of the front fenders you can probably get them from toyota. that's what I would recommend. If mounted properly the look sick......will post some nice pics after the unveiling of my GF Car.

I would recomend www.mcmaster.com and look under rubber chanel for the gasket that is where i got myn and pretty cheap. and like hes said no tape maby some pop rivots they are low profile for the underside of the wheel well.

Please tell me you aren't going to run those wheels with the fender flares. It is going to look like your fender ate your wheels.

I found the number for the OEM Tundra fender trim, but only comes in black... anyone know where you can find something similar in gray?

Got the flares yesterday... look great, but I'm starting to think only camber might be the ticket. Just OTG's rear and 2 degrees up front. Still debating...
