Hey guys,
I have myself a "wide body" fiesta and i love it.

BUT I hate how the flares don't go all the way down mainly because rocks get flicked up and have put some dings on my doors over time.

I find mud flaps to be tacky and funny looking, and it just doesn't really fit with the flares.

How much would a shop cost to make me some custom flares? 5K?

Yall have any other vision that would look good and solve the problem with the rocks and what not (mud flaps) I can't think of any other way of doing it.

How much yall think the sema flares costed? 20250426_130138.jpg sema-2016-26.jpg org.picseditor.blurbackground_202452120384066.png

The problem is that the flares don't cover the back of the tire because you've used a dished wheel which pushes the tire out farther. The white car in the show picture has the same problem, maybe worse. The flare covers the width of the tire at the top of the fender, but then curves in towards the body as it goes down. So it leaves the back of the tire exposed, which means it can kick rocks onto the door and rear body. The only solution is a flare which stays wide as it goes down, but then it doesn't fair in to the door behind. And it means a wide section has to be added to the sill under the door. Used to be done with race cars back in the 1970s, but impractical for a road car.
