????????? over fenders???????like those bolt-on things on 4x4s???????? do you mean a wide body kit?

No! ... No! ... Not those chrome stick on things!

do you mean fender flareS???
if so they are a lot of work.. have to have them molded onto your body and would cost a good amount of money

and then they will probably crack after a while :-/

Yeah, I'm with Niclipse on this one.....I think he is talking abou the chrome stick on pieces that go over fenders. Don't do that to your ride man....please!!!

Oh hell you guys thought I was gonna do that, nah hell nah I aint gonna do that cheap shiet, I found a pic tho of sum, loook

good, i was worried for a minute. Those are fender flares and they have to be molded on to the vehicle, which is a very expensive and time consuming venture. I dont have any experience with them so you may want to talk to eclipse804. He knows the ins and outs about this sort of thing.

i would not recommend trying to mold in fender flares... one thing it will cost you a good penny and second thing is that it will eventually crack and fall off... fiberglass does not stay on the car good when it is molded in... it might last 1-2 yrs before you see anything or it could be a week after getting it back. unless your taking the car off the road and making a full show car i wouldn't attemp this... eclipse804 can back me up on this subject... he has been dealing with this alot more than i have... but this will give you the understanding of what is in detailed..

Ya icedout said it. You will spend probably at least 1000 in labor and paint to mold everything in, and then it will crack if you're not careful or just crack from stress over time. You're making a minor dent problem into a huge modification - you can just get the dent fixed and repainted for under 400 probably. Unless you want a strictly show car, I wouldn't go with fender flares.
