Default Where can i get cheap fender flares?

I had to get adapters to change bolt pattern for my rims to fit. So now the rims stick out about an inch. I was wondering if anyone know a place to get some decent priced 2" fender flares? Places around here want $400! Its a 98 4door blazer LS.

Thats what flares cost new.

Make your own? Or go to a junk yard and hope the guy working doesnt know what they go for..

If you can find them, you are going to pay $$$ for them. That is just the cost.

Is it super hard to make some fender flarers? I just found some for $345. But that is still to much! i never thought they would cost this much!

If you know how to lay up fiberglass, it is not all that difficult.

They are, but unless you can injection mold plastic (much more difficult and MUCH more expensive than hand laying fiberglass), you are SOL on that front.

You don't like the look of them sticking out a little? i think they would look kinda aggressive and nice

I agree, I like it too...but..some states require flares when tires stick out past the body.
