Bolt-on Fender Flares?

I searched long and hard like you mother likes it, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I need to know where i can get bolt on fender flares for the FC. I checked corksport's flares, but i don't want something molded, otherwise, thats about all I could find. If you guys have any options/suggestions, let me know.

Thx

Cam

We offer two kinds of flares, the one type for the front are a complete replacement fender, and the panspeed style ones are the rivet-on style of overfender.

Ya well if I wasn't a student and had bling-blizzle comin outta my wizzle I would hook up "Dem m4d w1d3 b0dy k1t's yo" but seeing as I'm not, and am building a boro *** FC dori machine, I just need some cheap-ish bolt on flares.

So why don't you take a look at Panspeed's demo car and then tell me it's "show" and not "race"... FYI Panspeed has been manufacturing them for quite some time, and they've been used in numerous race applications... What I will say though, is why are you wanting fender flares? They are designed for road racers so you can cut out your fender and use the flares as an extension, thus allowing the use of spacers and significantly wider tires... Drifting doesn't really require large grippy tires, and the stockers would sure look stupid tucked 6" behind the flares... lol

There are a couple reasons i want fender flares. I will be running wider wheels, with a steering angle kit in the front and wheel spacers on the rear, there is some rust around the rear wheel wells of my car, and given my limited budget, I am planning on just cutting out the rust and bolting on some flares over the 'surgery' areas as opposed to attempting to reshape the area or take it to a bodyshop. And also for aesthetic reasons, I just think flares look badass

What are you talking about ?!?!?!? You're not cool now unless you have 15 inch stock tires and rims tucked behind 10" flares!
