sedan fender flares

hey guys i am looking into possibly test fitting some fender flares on my 09 sedan but i was wondering if anyone has done this before and has pics?

from what i understand if you take 2 pairs of front fender flares from the scion xb then they should fit. i think that might work for the lb but i am concerned about sedan fitment. id like to run some wide wheels but i want the flares to fit correctly

i am trying to achieve something subtle like this



i noticed the rear flares are a 2 piece with part of the flare being on the door itself.

is there a company that is interested in fabbing flares for the yaris? i feel like there would be a good amount of people interested in these if they were available

They are very close. I have my old set still in storage. I test fit one when I first got the car. I can dig it out again and get a pic for reference. I am going a different route though. I plan to eventually get my rims mounted and then do a slight pull on the fenders for fitment.

As for the rivets.....I was going to have them bolted/riveted on and then mold them into the body. I did it once before and they looked so much better.

The front ones look good on the Yaris. The rears will require just some trimming since the lines are different on the back doors (at least on the sedan).

My idea! These were available and no one bought them.

Laszlo has the set on his car -NO RIVETS, in carbon fiber, mmmmm.

funny this thread would come up now, I'm putting flares on my own car here pretty soon. Just sorting out the wheel/tire/offset part first, so I know how much fender to trim.

Yeah, I'm looking at putting some in so I can fit some fatter tires and bring the suspension down a bit. Where did you get yours?
