Okay so who makes good fender flares or does it really matter and if that is the case who makes the cheapest. I have a little rust on the wheel wells right now and I want to add the flares after I cut the rust out. They don't look really difficult to put on plus they just look cool. :xyxthumbs:

Bushwaker makes great cut-out flares! You can get a pair for about $200-$250. Little pricy. If you plan on wheelin' your bronco and taking it to any kind of park (Telico, Gulches, Uwharrie) I would recomend NOT getting any type of Flares. You'll just rip'em off on a rock or tree. Then there goes all that money you spent.

Check The destructions err... I mean instructions before you start cutting. I almost did that, luckily I caught myself. The "cutout flares" only take a small portion of the edges in the front most and rear most points. That rust you are refering to, just guessing since I have the same problem, is at the top center of the fender lip, so if you cut it out, the flares will have nothing to mount to. I have seen pictures of HUGE cut-outs with flares that fit, but I am not sure what vehicle the flares were originally intended for. Maybe an f-250 or 350 with the off-road package?

Good call. Yeah it is mostly top center. There is not alot so I might can cut it out and just put a new metal strip on it. I really don't want to replace the entire panel for just a little bit of rust.

I am not sure about in davidson, but here I have tire and rim shops, the bling bling type, that have a fender rolling tool. In talking with the guy that runs the shop and showing him what I had to deal with, he said that if I could cut it out preaty clean, he could re-roll the lip and make it look about stock, but it depended on my chop job.
Just an bit of food for thought.

I am just outside of Charlotte. I can only imagine that some body shop or someone has a fender rolling tool. I might lookin to that. If I could cut a clean line an inch at most is all I really need and the have it cleaned up. That's not a bad idea.
