Rear 2in flare mod for stock bedside

[SlimChaChi]

Who is this wizard and what does he do? I don't mind doing the actual bed trimming myself, it is this mystical and lightly explained plastic welding that has me stumped!!!



I would love to talk to him about the possibility of getting the flares done to match up with this project.......

Chris at Waynes Auto body in Sayreville, NJ. He cut down the flare to match, plastic welded it, painted and modified the bed a bit. The flare bolts right up and actually flares the bed a little in the process. Let him know Danilo sent you. Leeann referred me to him. Probably the only body guy I'll go to from here on in.

bump on this... any news Dave?

I would totally get this if someone sold these. One of the reasons I haven't gotten glass up front is because I'm ocd about the unmatching flare sizes with glass front and stock rears.

i'll talk to chris and see what he could do about creating a mold. i know dave is still with KHC just not at the shop too often these days.

Could this be done on the front as well?

it takes literally minutes to do front and rear a "ghetto" way. you can simply cut them down and put them back on like I've seen many people do. these guys are taking the extra steps to use what they cut off the face off the flare and now add that section underneath to create and edge or "lip''. makes its stronger and looks better. fronts being glass you need to do that same step to the front fender inner lip. b/c its not metal you can't just cut it and bend it. it would need to be worked with glass also. almost any body shop will do this for you. hope this helps.

Correct, any body shop can do this. I showed this thread to my shop and they did it without issue.

i read through this thread hoping there would be some good news by the end, but looks like nothing ever happened with this. don't let this thread die! someone please make these!

seems it would be simple for someone with fiberglass experience to make

Daves back at KHC so you may want to call the shop. If I could find a place to make a mold out of mine I'd be more than happy to help guys out on the thread that are interested. Bare in mind, my truck will be sold here in the next month I hope but we'll see.
