Home made fender flares?

Just wondering if anyone out there has made their own fender flares or used any off the shelf ones and made 'em fit? I kinda like the look of the "wrap around" mud flaps! Decisions decisions. :-D :M :M

yup, there are some rubber ones that bolt on, I've seen a couple van with these and they're fairly inexpensive. They don't work overly well on the front doors though because there's no lip on the bottom to bolt them to.

There is always the "disposable" fender flares. Aka lawn edging. It's cheap, rips off easily in the bush without causing body damage, and would look like a factory option if you have a "getto snorkel" :-D I'm holding out for a set of the factory flares for my l400, but I forsee a getto snorkel and disposable fender flares going on my Suzuki Jimny.

Ahhhhh. That must be what I've seen. It looks like the mud flap wraps all the way around almost eh? I like that look if the rest of the van is decked out in the same manner. Function first! Not the way I seem to be headed however....
