Default Looking for 1st Gen GS300 Fender flares, anyone?

Ok, I have a 1995 GS300 (converted to Aristo, GTE swap).

I'd like to get fender flares to run some slightly larger meats.

Ideally just flares, but the rest of the car's body to look stock. I'll have the flares molded in if I need, but if they could be a bolt on, and look correct that would be even better.

Anyone know of any, have pics, etc?

no one makes them. Some of the X100 guys run 240Z flares. I mocked some in my car when I was installing them in my buddy's X90 www.coupesfail.com and they would fit VERY nice, but again, this is for a racecar/track car look, not a clean nice street/track look for our cars.

Just my .02

Pics of the widebody MKIV. I think a with flared fender 1st gen GS300 would actually look BETTER than this.

Yep. I think both cars are nice, but I think the Aristo body by itself is very clean, doing JUST fender flares, and the JDM Spoiler I think would look very subtle. Also, if I can figure out a way to bolt the fender flares on from the inside, they might LOOK like the wing in general styling, so that'd be fine too. I want my Aristo to "look" like it could have been made by Toyota if they wanted the Aristo to look agressive. I've driven MKII Supras for years, and I like the fender flared look, and it's the same style of bolt on. Eventually I'll do some measurements with exacting tolerances, and then figure out what it'll take to bolt flares on it. I think the later Toyota Trucks had flared fenders that bolted on. If the trucks use the same measurements, then that would work. 8-).

Explosion makes (or used to make) a wide body kit similar to how that MKIV looks. Not my cup of tea but it was available. I would do a rolled fender or try to do a welded extension so it would look more like a 'factory-extreme-fender-pull'. I'll get some pics of the work im doing on my buddies car. coupesfail.com

That is _EXACTLY_ what I want my car's fenders to look like!!! PLEASE help me find that guy and find out what was done to do that. That's 100% exactly, perfectly what I want. Absolutely 100% what I'm looking for.

Please let me know if you can find who owns the car.

Now that I know it can be done exactly like I want I'm sold, that's perfect.

(saving pictures now)

(seeing those pictures made my night, thanks)
