Default Metal Fender Flare Fabrications

I'm still having a tuff time finding a metal fab shop that can do fenders on my Ls430 in the bay area.
Only places i've tried are the custom rod shops, and they charge hella $$$$ ..

I'm hoping somebody can help me with a shop that's affordable..

thanks

yeah sorry i really can't help you but in my research of my DC Maryland & Virginia (DMV) area I have found that supposedly our best and cheapest shop that does it is a hod rod shop. have you checked on the vip section of club lexus and have you checked on http://vipstylecars.com/forums/

i would really like to think that someone on that vip site ^ ^ ^ should be able to recommend a shop at least within an hour or two of where you are at. good luck,

If you want custom work, don't expect it to be cheap. Cheap comes from lower quality & mass production.

If you want widened metal fenders, I'd expect to pay at least $1500-$2k with paint for all 4.

Waijai Is about right on the quote to get your fenders done, Just to have my fronts repaired will run me close to $700 repair, shave, and repaint. but homie might hook u up, seem like a very cool guy, keep us updated on the work can't wait to see how it'll turn out.

Sorry kinda off topic but you planning to hit up the Wekfest show this Sunday VIPCLSS? I'd like to see your car in person.

Bro My fenders are all shaved and fronts are rolled to max..
I had the shaved fenders done when i first got the rims,,and it gave me problems one day i crunced the front's and found a shop near pleasanton , ca
they charged me $550. with paint job. and was alot of clearance driving low with no rub. I could probably even put on a 1/2" spacers . But I decided to keep it the way it is.
So now was looking into upgrading to make it look even cleaner.. we metal fender flares fab.

FYI, His username in VSC is VIP-UCF. His name is Dennis.

Look at the Euro car thread. His car is under the title Big Body Benz or something.
