Go Highline....


Mine was a home modification that the previous owner did.

There is a kit by AEV:
AEV Kit

Here is a link to how someone did their own:
Highline hood and fenders

Hope this helps, keeps you in the graces of the law
later,

Are you required in your state to have tire coverage?

I had mine like this for a long time.

Ya, that might work. When I did mine I had thought of running a tube under the lip all the way around but I ended up going a totally different way.

Heres what I did : Went to tractor supply got there 7" wide trailer fenders 2 for front a side 3 for rear. and a lot of cut off disc. Fitted a 3/4 conduit for the rad will use 1" tubing when I find a good deal on it.This for you guys if you want a cheap alt to high dollar steel flares. I think they are going to be Pretty Cool!

hmm u know what might make it look a little better. would be to have the tube as the out side edge of the fender, and then taper it back to the body. if that's legal not sure if that's legal just my two cents

Not bad at all. I think it would look better as mophious said though with the tube as the edge of the fender all the way around.
