If I were to get fender flares, I'd want to get the ones that look like their bolted onto the body all the way around. I bet the bolts are fake, but still they look good.. No different than those little bolts on the lip of aftermarket wheels, they're plastic and obviously glued on if you look close. The fenders I'm talkin about I've seen them on new Dodge Rams, Toyota Tundras and such.

You're talking about the bushwacker cut-out style. They are bad ass looking. My cherokee will be getting a set of those and a set of 33" M/T's when the 31" m/t's wear out. Those ones on ebay for the sporty aren't worth the price to look like stock flares(unless you're into that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif" alt="" />). If mud and money are an issue, can't go wrong with old fashioned garden trimming.

I have those flairs at home for my Kia. I bought them a while ago, never got around to fitting them. Timd75 is right in they dont allow a lot of extra coverage but they may be able to be used as amould to make wider ones. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I contacted a company in Australia BOSS that make duraflares. If there was enough interest they would consider looking at hem and make a wider flair. What they would need was a measurement for how wide. Here a couple of photos of the flairs test fitted to my Sporty. ![[Linked Image]](http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/4runnernomore/Kiaphotos007.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/4runnernomore/Kiaphotos006.jpg) The funniest thing is they are made in Australia according to the sticker on the back of them and ended up in the US. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Cheers, Chris <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

EGR is the only manufacturer for aftermarket flares for the first gen Sportage.
They need to drop the price and then maybe people with first gen Sportages would consider buying them.
At $300.0 USD, I'm not that interested. At $100 to $125, then I'd be interested.

they dont look different than the factory fitted ones on 1998-2003 sportages (at least thats the way they were sold in Israel)-why not get some from a breakers yard?

Good thought, but they are all broken.
