Opinions please

Ok- I'm building some tube fenders, and so far I think I love them. I built my own for several reasons, but mainly because I am a cheap ass, and because I need additional clearance behind the tire to alleviate some minor rubbing.

Here is where your opinions come in- I am building them to be very aggressive looking, and I want the sheet metal to angle, but I worry it won't look right. I have mocked it up with some super thin metal and tape. What do you guys think? Does it look aggressive or does it look like a mistake? Bear in mind that I think they are awesome, and will probably just do it this way anyway, but I am open to some ideas.

Yeah that's one of the only down sides to it. Maybe I need to get a couple more hood stickers and move them up. Sucks cause I haven't even had those ones that long.

Dam bro your rig looks sexyyyyyyyy

You'll see them fine when your flexing

Is it an optical illusion or do they bow upward in the middle? If so, why? Is that where you're rubbing?

I actually think they look pretty damn good. Is Lee going to do your welding for you, he's REALLY good? :cheesy:

Yes they do, it's the look I was going for. That isn't where it was rubbing, but it didn't have much room there. I think that's what makes it look so aggressive. here you can see where I added some fenderwell. Just pulled the inner fender back to the new line.

I like them! They remind me of the Metalcloak fenders which I have always thought were really cool.

Thanks Frank! My inspiration came from the metal cloacks/ Yamaha raptor/ my old 2006 silverado. Love the slanted look.

Yes- I liked them too, but didn't like how they block the hood, and I wanted the metal to slant like the headlights.

I think they look good, the next alternative is high line the hood

I'll bet yours won't leave little rust trails when it rains either. My Metalcloaks are bad for that.

Those are pretty clean lines David. When will these be done? Are you going to run the rear fender less?
