A little off topic, but how hard would it be to mould up some plastic WT flares? Surely you could sell 'em by the hundred


You know anyone with a multimillion dollar injection moulding machine? And a full CNC machine shop capable of making CAD moulds?

Something tells me that the sales figures would be far too low to justify the expense :wink:



I'm thinking a 2 piece plaster mould of a real flare, a pizza oven, and a way to jam in the plastic pellets nice and tight... quality every step of the way :lol:

Place your orders gents - I offer a five minute guarantee on all goods sold :helloo:

u could run no guards and make a guard that bolts to the hub like they run on comp trucks and hotrods
always covers ur wheel
no tire rubbing
and cant get riped off because it is aways protected by the wheel not just sticking out there

Mmmm, tube and sheet would work well, and look the goods if you can get the right curves in it.
