I can not justify spending in excess of $300 for some fender flares. I would like to make some of my own and Herculine them for durability and rugged looks.
Purpose-to keep road debris and moisture off the sides of my vehicle. Looks are secondary but I don't want a ghetto imitation of Bushwackers either.
Here is a link to what I am considering:

Please don't be flaming me for using JCWhitney-better to offer me suggestions on where to find similar materials or better pricing....
My initial gut feeling was to purchase a roll of the standard or steel reinforced fender extensions and match to existing holes on the underside of the wheel wells.
However, to mimic the "on body" look of a Bushwacker (for example) then the surface mount ones look to be the ticket.
My Toy friends are saying surface mount is no big deal just use the 3m sticky spray glue or double sided tape. I have always been a skeptic of such mounting methods. Out here in Colorado these types of glues just kind of dry up over the years.
I welcome your opinons, and suggestions. I want more coverage than an SR5 plastic flare which is 3/4" and 3" seems like a dune buggy flare to me.....
