Ok so I ordered some of those special made Sportmax / bbist rims that are 15 x 8 with a 0 offset so I need some fender flares. I know of 2 made for the xb that are readily available the:

CF type ones

and the scion sport ones

I also know i can get some "universal" type like from team prototype and mold them on

My questions are...
1. are there any other alternative bolt on ones?
2. which idea do you like the best?

 

i like cf types!

...but that can differ based on how much carbon you already have on your car.

 

If you are gonna do other things in CF I would deffinately go with the first link.

I for one am not doing CF and I am going to buy the ones in the second link if I need them.

 

First off the wheels arnt special made. And dont forget to cut your fender and side part of the panel so that you wont rub. Im guessing you will have to cut a 1/2- i inch thich strip all the way around the panel. But go with the CF type one

 

thanks for heads up and clearing things up.

even though i have a carbon fiber hood i think i'm going to go for something a little more suttle and going with color matched. thanks for the input though

 

anyone have the scion sport ones? how are they held on and are they're any fitment issues?

 

With either of those flares I am guessing they are bolted in on the inside of the fenders along the wheelwell and then double sided taped to the exterior.

 

Dear god dont do the CF ones. Color matched, molded-on fiberglass is a million times better.

 

unless you have a black box don't do the CF!

 

yea i'm thinking i'm going to go with the scionsport ones and mold them in...just waiting on a paint quote, if thats not rediculous i'll probably go with that

 

im intrested in these fender flaers too but i know the the scionsport ones have to be painted (which is no problem for me since i have the spray equipment) just curious how well they look

 

thats how it should be done.....
