Default Fender Options

So after searching for some fender flares (for a future purchase ), I couldn't find one that I loved. and i will admit, this is purely aesthetic.

the stock fender: i do love how they come forward past the grill (recessing the grill). I think that gives it a nice aggressive appearance, but they are too fat from the certain angles- almost toyish in proportions.

aftermarkets: I've seen some awesome fenders. two of my fav are the psc and nemesis. the curves are damn sexy. I even like the RR hurricane flats (minus the pockets). however, all the ones I've seen starts behind the grill, and its great in certain angles, but in other angles, it feels like its face got pulled back way too much. like it got one too many face lift (specifically the 3/4 angles).

so im wondering if i missed a fender that extends beyond the grill in front, like the stocks.

i know there's always the trimming the stock option, but wanted to see if there were aftermarket options.

Thanks,
Duk

The other option you have is to trim your stock fenders so that they look exactly how you want. And saves you money.

That EVO setup is a one piece hood / fender setup. It's listed on the first page under bumper / armor / skids.

I just checked it out because it's awesome looking and I already use some EVO stuff but that system is only available for shop pickup, no shipping :-( Just wanted to point that out before OP falls in love with it and gets crushed by the small print lol. Hopefully they will change this soon as that is an amazing price considering it's the hood and fenders!

Well looks like it was meant to be. Hopefully it's what he was looking for.
