I added 1.00 spacers in the rear , so I figured I should extend my fenders (2.00")
One side is complete , one side to go !!
I used my stock skid plates for the filler piece !

What did you use to bend stock skid plate? Heat gun? and did u sue clips or screws to hold fenders?
Could you please show your tools and everything u used for this project.

Thx!
I used a jigsaw to cut the plastic , a propane torch to heat it and Honda push pins to secure it !!
I will post some more detailed pictures when I get home from work tonight !

I look forward to more pictures. I'm 99% sure going this way for the rear. It looks like if I make four offset brackets to mount to the rack, can avoid drilling those holes in the fenders.

I ordered new hood and fenders (yellow) so I will be making new brackets for the fenders so I don't have to drill the new fenders !

I am not real good with tutorials , so I will do my best.

1) cut a piece of cardboard 39"x 7" to start

2)line up the cardboard with the ledge on the fender and bend one end of the cardboard around the fender ( do not try to follow the ledge when doing this). Now make a mark on the end ,where the angle would extend out to the end of the fender and mark the center of the bend.

3) now draw a line connecting the two marks you just made

4) do the same thing on the other end

5)after you get the two angles drawn , measure a width of 3 1/2" along the lines.

6) now cut the template with a utility knife

7) cut the plastic using the template.

8)heat the plastic and make the bends using the fender as a guide !
Do not get the torch to close , you want to heat it , not burn it !

9)parts should look like this !
You will have a left and a right (mirror image of each other)

10) transfer holes from fender and center piece to the filler piece and drill !

11) 4 of the holes will need to be heated and bent on a angle (the four holes closest to the seat)

12) You will need 10 adittional push pins to assemble

13)either add 4 new bracket to the wrack , or drill your fenders and use spacers for the 4 bolts

Thx for the additional pics and input.

So, it looks like I can get both out of a 12" x 48" piece of HDPE. Is it 1/4" or 3/8" thick?

OK measured my bottom skid plate and got 1/4", and the part it will bolt to is 1/8". Ordering the 1/4" along with pieces for front flares. :0
