Home Brew Flat Flares

Been running my flares for a couple weeks. They work great, but I'm thinking the back ones stick out a little too far. Think I should slim them up a bit?

I think the back is sticking out a little to far. The front looks good from that angle. What did you make the flares out of?

Solid 1" plastic. That stuff is a pain to bend.

Most use Lawn/Flower Bed Edging for the flat flares, easier to work with.

That's what I did. Just bought several packs of the 1-1/2 inch angle brackets from lowes and uses the factory holes in the fender. It'll do for now

On a side note, I love having my office window right at the parking lot
