View Full Version : E&G extra wide fender flares
Anyone have access to these? My vehicle goes in for some custom paint and I need the flares to be painted also. Anyone that I have talked to that sells them says 10 days - 2 weeks before I can get them. I'll even take a used set, if there in good condition. Or... another brand, if there wide enough. Thanks

Anybody have what??? Do you have your hands behind your back and we're supposed to guess what you have? C'mon newbie, we love to have you aboard... but damn. Can you give more details or (ideally) a picture?
What part of "E&G Extra Wide Fender Flares" didn't you get??? I suppose I could have found a picture, but if someone knows what I am talking about, they won't need the photo. With over 4500 posts under your belt, one would think you might have this thing mastered. ?? Some GURU......

Check with shops in your area, or call the dealership parts dept. E & G Classics are sharp! I got Street Scene (poor quality). You can also get the covers for insides of fender wells...here's a pic in yellow.

RFOX-
Be careful on aftermarket flares. I don't know if they are these EGR ones or not but I have seen a set of extended flares on a H2 around here running 15" of lift on 49's and the flares had warped and weren't retaining their shape against the body of the vehicle. I assumed it was from them getting hot from the sun. Anyways, they looked like total ass...

I'm partial to these since they give a more aggressive look. I see these periodically on Ebay.

C'mon cheesehead, use that... cheese you've got for a brain and either post a picture or do a search for your "E&G Extra Wide Fender Flares". Also, by posting a photo maybe you'd be providing a useful service by showing the forum members something that they might want/need. Don't come on this forum and expect to be waited on hand & foot. Be self sufficient.
Now go wash the sand out of your crack and calm down. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

They have those as part of a dealer promotion package out here in this part of the world... Who makes them? I'm looking closely at the H2 SUT which isn't released here for a while, and would like wider tires than OEM.
What's the widest flares currently in production for the H2?

That's a smart looking rig you've got there!
Are they the widest H2 flares you can currently get though? 4.5" is ok, wider would be better. I'd like to do something like 38x20 STS tires (rims unknown yet) and it would be a whole lot easier to keep it street legal by getting fenders wide enough to cover them.
I'm surprised with how many huge H2's there are that nobody has done this already. They do look nice that's for sure, and I like how your skidplate etc. is all blacked out. Looks sharp.

Many thanks!!
I'm not aware of wider but in this day, somebody is always trying to make it bigger! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Flares are wide enough that rarely do my 37's throw mud on the sides...just when really boggin' it!
Skidplate has been LineX coated.... works well and you don't have to worry about dings!

Cool - I'm not worried about body scratches, when it gets scratched enough, it's time for a new colour http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
I'm more worried about having some WIDE tires to make it perform well in the sand, and keeping it street legal. Might have to do some one-off flares kinda like the Icelandic trucks have... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I bought these on eBay and a few days later I had them. Put them on in about 2 hours. Look great.

Mister Ed, Oldhiker, about how far out from stock are they? And do you have to use that mud flap? I am not a fan of them, but really like the flares.

Ken, these actually install over the stock flares. These are agout 3 1/2" out from the body. As far as removing the "mud flap", it is part of the flare. I think it looks pretty good.
I will wait until I see them in person before making a decision. Thanks for the extra pic.

EXCELLENT RIG, MisterEd. Just ditch the mirror caps, door handles and rear tail gate piece and you'll be perfect.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Appreciate YOUR kind words!
Handles are in the works but haven't been able to find the caps yet. Any thoughts on that tail gate piece??

I got mine in two days from the dealer; they also installed them for me. I have an extra set but they have been cut out to accomodate the Road Armor front and rear bumpers. Here is a pic of them prior to the Road Armor being put on.

Very nice,
I'm convinced that I will go with those. But I'm not comfortable with install (drilling).

Kacyk,
I too, was very uncomfortable about the drilling, so I had the dealer install them. Until I had the lift installed, I could not put the second half of the front flares on (The part that comes down form the hood and to the right at a bout a 45 degree angle in the picture I posted above) for the 15.50's would have rubbed. Once I had the lift installed I put the flares on myself (becauseI could not wait!) and it actually was incredibly easy. The flares come with all the hardware and a special bit and screws so that the cannot be tampered with. They go over the factory flares and are super easy to line up. Then you just drill a tiny pilot hole and put the screws in and you are done. Took me about 5 minutes for both front flares. From what I understand (from the dealership), the only difficult part is getting the mudflaps at the correct angle (yes, the kit comes with mudflaps) but my mudflaps are gone now because of my new Road Armor bumper (shown in this pic). Hope this helps.
