Damn! Looks great! After going flared front fenders myself, I would never go back and would highly recommend doing it.

I had a friend at Honda check on the price of new OEM fenders to me and it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

My buddie works for Honda parts and I was able to get a steal on a set. Worth the attempt to roll and flare your originals.

Curious when you "flared" the front fenders did you remove the factory rolled lip? or did you open it up and use that metal to extend the fender?

Not sure if that makes sense but I was wondering if there is still a rolled edge on your fender or if it is just the end of a sheet of metal?

Factory lip remained intact. Fender liner taps were cut off and the lip was hammered inward pressed against the outside fender, this left a nice round edge and also made it more resistant against flexing.

Oh okay thanks for the reply! Do you happen to have a picture of the edge of the fender to show this? Im considering attempting something like this myself
