mega flares

Do you guys think flares like this would look good on the new yaris? I like the idea and with my extreme deep dish rim obsession I think it might be a plan.




I can purchase them from this site
http://in.teamprototype.com/?nav=est...&product_id=26


can anyone do a photochop for me please maybe a front view. I can get more angles of the flares.

edit: speed bump anyone... or even a matchstick? lol!

I would like to see some type of fender flare option. However, lets hope it isn't that! WOW!

I wouldnt mind a flare of a couple of inches - but those are extreme and they are ok on the older style but would need some updating to go on the current yaris/vitz.

and that car is most certainly using airbags...

The idea is good, but the yaris lb has smooth flanks that would make anything not molded on look out of place. I don't think the bushwacker flairs look would be good...so my vote is definitely NO for the 1st example, and I need to see a pic installed of the 2nd...

Unless you do a lot of trimming (and it's probably structural in the back) you still haven't gained tire clearance. I like the looks tho!

I think if you mold the 2nd it should be ok but i'd have to see it too.
