If only you could have afforded some paint, it would look 60% better. |

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

Clinched fender flares on a Single Cab. Normally, I would love this, but something about the color/wheels/something just ain't right...

Are there rear flares held on by blue painter's tape? How do you open the door?

The front flare is two pieces, you can see it clearly in the pic. Open the door and the part on the door goes with it.

I wanna see the front wheel tubs cutting into the door.
Black wheels would look better with this color combo I think. For some reason, I kinda like it.

Clinched flares has a lot of cool stuff on their site. This was found on Instagram.

This is probably just mocked up. I have seen four door sedans with flares that prevent you from opening the rear doors.
*Edit* upon closer inspection comma it looks like there might be a seem in the front Flair right at the door opening. I see screws too, maybe it's not mocked up. |

Just a brand. Cheap, universal and nicely shaped. They're becoming super popular vs the regular fingernail flair.
They've got some nicely shaped vehicle-specific flares in the $3k range. That's Rocket Bunny pricing...Unless you're looking at a GT-R or Lexus. Anybody would rather have Rocket Bunny for that money.
There are some Lexus's and others that are 8k bucks! For flares! |

fingernail. Rocket Bunny. $3K fender flares.
Damn I'm glad I don't give a shit about this stuff. I just need to scrape together $500 for some new tires on my pickup.
