Full Version: Fender flare fitment question

I want to replace my 9" rear fender flares with 11"flares. I was wondering if anyone knows if the rear 9" flares that I remove will fit the front fenders? It will save me from having to purchase the wider front flares and recycle some parts. I am thinking maybe the right rear flare will fit the left front fender and vise versa. Thanks if you know or you can find out. KMA.gif

Its always been my "experience" that the design and shape of the front and rear flares are different. So while you might be able to use the 9" flares that are currently on the rear of the car, I doubt that they would look "right".
Just MHO...

I was afraid you would say that. I just remember when we got the AA flares from the group buy how difficult it was to tell what flares went where so they were possibly close enough to work. I am probably wrong. Thanks for your input. biggrin.gif

Bob - Are you using metal or fiberglass flares?

These will be fiberglass

The rears can be used on the front but they will take a lot of work to look right. It would be easier to widen your rear flares.

Thanks for the info guys.

I don't remember there being any question on where the front or rear aa flares went.

If the fg flares are well stuck to the fender and aren't coming loose I would just redo them wider, thats easier than tearing them off and replacing new wider ones.
