Wide Fender Install, Dos and Don'ts

Make sure you don’t do these things when flaring out your fenders. Read more inside.

easiest way around this is to not do it at all. flairs dont look good on most cars. if youre going to cut into the rear arches, i suggest going full wide boy to retain some of that stock body look.

IMO, rivet on flairs do not belong on a lexus. This is not a Miata or an old school datsun.

Agreed, don't **** with the factory metal, at least that is my motto when doing cosmetic upgrades. I have a 1992 SC300, yes it has bigger wheels on it, but they don't stick out past the fenders. I thought about adding some SC400 aero bits like the spoiler, side skirts, front lip, but then was like **** it, this is a 1992 SC300, this is the way it came from the factory, I'm not going to drill into the body or **** up the originality of the paint work to try and make it look like something it is not.

Dos: research, research, research.
Don'ts: don't take club lexus curated articles seriously. Because they all suck!
