    Looks good. Hopefully they will be well priced so they are cheaper then fiberglass fenders

    Just thinking out loud here. Any chance some company could or would buy your design and crank these out for $400 a set of four? Then the end used would still have to cut up his fenders and mount them.

    A body shop could offer the installation service but might charge another $400 (5 hours at $80/hour), and we are still at $800 plus tax. Any way you look at this it is pushing a thousand dollars.

    But Homertaco sure did a fine job!

    I actually approached Bushwhacker with this via Phone and email.
    They showed zero interest in what they deemed a "limited" custom market...:rolleyes:

    As I stated earlier & also in my 2012 grill thread - I have had no luck finding a suitable manufacturing partner. If I did I'd have these in production in a heartbeat. :eek:

    Not surprised. How many Tacomas do you see with bushwacker flares? I can count them on one hand.

    What about vacuum forming? You can build a DIY rig for fairly cheap... DIY Linky

    Find a suitable plastic, and they could maybe be mass produced fairly simply...

    I'm very familiar with the process - I don't have the space to dedicate to that.

    Going to be taking on a set of stock flares for this mod.
    PSU Taco85 is local to me and we are working out an exchange of sorts...:D
    I don't see the need to start an entirely new thread on the topic, so I'll just post updates on the new project here.

    Here are the stock flares that will be the next to fall victim to sectioning...
    As with the Bushwhackers I intend to remove 2" from them. :drevil:

    Okay, I'll keep it in mind, thanks! I think I've got enough. I remembered where I stashed the pieces I cut off for my HC.
