Flared fenders, opinions

I figured It was worth a try.

Everything is worth a try! (well most of the time)

The instuctions for the fender tool say that it can roll out arches and flare fenders. You might want to contact the company and ask just how much of a flare their tool can make.

I dont see how it could work on a beetle fender at least, it would be almost impossible to get a flare that looks right with that, if at all.

Im still not totaly sure about the flares now, im thinking it would look more sleeperish if i just did widened fenders, but how would the bumpers look with winder stock style fenders?

I think that some of the fiberglass companies sell widened bumbers to match their fenders. You could always cut your stock bumpers up add some more bumper pieces from a scrap bumper and widen them to the width of your wider fenders. Just chop and add some metal and weld back together. you would than have to paint them since the chrome will be ruined. While you are at it you could add some driving light into the front bumpers. Another idea is to ditch the bumpers all together, that's what I'm going to do.

I thought about the widening of bumpers, still not sure if i want to use steel or fiberglass. i do need bumpers, i think beetles look better with bumpers.

I lilke them without bumpers. Wide fenders and lowered with no bumpers. Oh yea, don't forget the BIG porsche rims...
