mega flares

[redduck]

Do you guys think flares like this would look good on the new yaris? I like the idea and with my extreme deep dish rim obsession I think it might be a plan.

I can purchase them from this site

can anyone do a photochop for me please maybe a front view. I can get more angles of the flares.

[leasaunce]

hahahaha too extremeeeeeeeee!!!!

would be nice to get extra inch or two from the stock fender though...

[Masteraal]

lol it looks like the rear wheels are in one angle and the fronts are the opposite :|

edit: speed bump anyone... or even a matchstick? lol!

[kimona]

Strictly showcar... an impossible daily driver!

[redduck]

ok ignore the height and stick to the question at hand. its the flares I want opinions on no the ride height.

[paradigm]

imo i think that those flares would look ridiculous. wouldnt go with the lines of the car at all.

[kimona]

I don't think so.

[arby says]

it takes the body line way too off

[ChinoCharles]

I would like to see some type of fender flare option. However, lets hope it isn't that! WOW! :barf:

[kurokoma-kun]

They are a little too square for the car?

[brickhardmeat]

not a wide body fan:barf:

[redduck]

what about this nice and rounded

[RocknRollRon]

My vote is NO.

[caveatipse]

I say no.

[RShatchback]

I wouldnt mind a flare of a couple of inches - but those are extreme and they are ok on the older style but would need some updating to go on the current yaris/vitz.

and that car is most certainly using airbags...

[jdium]

The idea is good, but the yaris lb has smooth flanks that would make anything not molded on look out of place. I don't think the bushwacker flairs look would be good...so my vote is definitely NO for the 1st example, and I need to see a pic installed of the 2nd...

[churp]

Unless you do a lot of trimming (and it's probably structural in the back) you still haven't gained tire clearance. I like the looks tho!

[paradigm]

I think if you mold the 2nd it should be ok but i'd have to see it too.

[slvryaris]

Nope. Maybe like some others said maybe and inch or so of flare.

[BailOut]

Send in the clowns! http://elouai.com/images/yahoo/29.gif

I can probably make some custom flares for you through my fabricator. As far as this example goes, it's just waaaay out there.

I do agree that a subtler version may look hot on our cars, though.

[Razr]

Why go for sissy flares when you can go full wide-body baby! :wink:

[Vanderkitten]

I like the idea of the wider fenders because there is a return on a wider stance in handling. Those are not contoured enough for my taste, and the examples above are too notchy or blockey. I think emulating the Mini Cooper would be a good direction where the flares start higher on the body.

I saw a UK site that was using flares from an Escort or something to start with. The UPSIDE to the 2-door is that you have much more room to work with to make the rear smooth and nice!

I was thinking about flaring mine a couple of inches this winter or something. You can also just roll the fenders to get a little more wheel clearance and lose the plastic in the front.

[Black Yaris]

I think these from the Teme Prototype site would nice

but if those do not fit because they are too big I would go with these

Exactly! I've been eye-balling the Mini's flares for some time now.

[blueskana]

If you took it to a good body shop and where willing to open up the wheel wells (any rim deep enough to fill that, or spacer combo would require trimming to be able to turn up front due the the greater sweep) one of the less extreme example might work and look cool. Otherwise I would wait for a full body kit so that the bumpers and steps could be integrated. Even though its blocky, I'd be stoked to run the RTN car up there: 245's here I come!!!

[kurokoma-kun]

The second (rounded) ones are better.

So what are your wide-ass wheel plans redduck? :biggrin:

[redduck]

I like the look of the second wide body kit, anyone know where i can get that?
these are the wheels I want or at least something similar.

[seanele]

no...i think the Yaris is wide enough for me.
if i want my Yaris look more wider..i just go with the spacer.

well..speaking of spacer, i'm shopping for a set of 10mm for my rear.

[kimona]

Try Ichiban 10mm hubcentric spacers with longer studs.

[contraband831]

talk about stealing his thread:iono:

if you get a widebody on there i think it would look cool:thumbup:
not too sure about it being a daily driver, but it sure will look awesome.

well when you run a wide body you are going to run spacers/adapters or crazy offset wheels to push them out to the new flares

AFAIK it's only availabe here in Thailand. Given that it's not just a bolt-on (the front L/R guards have to be modded to fit the Toyota Wish headlights) I doubt there's too many shops that'll be doing it..

L/R guards?

[Razr]

Left and Right guards, i.e. the panels over the front wheels.

[yarisugi]

Sorry for bringing up an old thread. I'm looking for some mild fender flare options, too.
What do you think about older Datsun 240z or Toyota Corolla AE86 flares?

[darthbauer]

Garm had something before the hack that was a mild flare. I think they were carbon fiber too. I think they were for the first gen Xb's and to fit on our cars we just get two sets of the front ones.

[cali yaris]

^ true, and I can still get them. Sold the set I had for myself :frown:

[darthbauer]

And how much would those cost?

[Benggolf2]

Sorry to say those flares are way too wide. :tongue:

Yeah I think the flares look sweet. Into deep-dish rims too. But gotta agree with some of these other guys and say I'm just not feeling the extreme lowering. Doesn't seem realistic for driving. Otherwise it would work for the current Yaris IMO.

[AdeJong 03]

id love to see some flares on a sedan

just some universal type like mentioned above me

can someone do photoshop?

[elmo]

hate it looks like the rear suspension is broken

[anonymous user]

These look really good. I plan to run them on my track car soon. And on my wagon i'm told they require minimum work. Only cutting of the fender. This is the prototyope fender kit.

[PHXDEMON]

http://www.showoffparts.com/abk-hiwfenderb.html

Something like this probably wouldn't look too bad but the ones in the first post look kinda ridiculous on a yaris. Also nice rear camber :laugh::laugh:

[Wisher23]

^ true, and I can still get them. Sold the set I had for myself :frown:

Hey Garm would you happen to have pictures of the flares on you yaris?

[AdeJong 03]

Hey Garm would you happen to have pictures of the flares on you yaris?

[Tamago]

[neo1985]

[andruboz]

^ i was just about to say- I bet that thing is airbagged..

[Mouse]

Cali Yaris...Since you're the one with hookups....There is a company out in Cali named....Autokonexion...here is the link to the page....

http://autokonexion.com/

He has made a lot of great parts for miatas....including flares, wide body kit, spoilers, hoods, and a fastback add-on to the hardtop.....anyways....Maybe you should hit him up and ask him about making some parts for the yaris...If the demand is there he will make them.
