Hi all.. The fender flares for my 250SX are beat up and I wanted to replace them. Too pricey on eBay so I made some on my own. I wanted to share the material with you all in case you need to make some also. I used a material called cloud crepe. I would recommend using regular crepe. It's a bit more firm and durable. This material is what use to create shoe lifts for people who have different length legs. It is sold by the sheet. This is 12i (12 Iron) which is about a 1/4" thick. I'll post a pic of what they look like on new Maier fenders later on tonight.

Yea X2.... Thanks for that. Just took a screenshot for future info. Also can you give me a comparison of the color of the new Maier plastics to the original color. I'm thinking of purchasing for my 200x but was wondering if the color was way off. Thank you.

They appear really nice. Thank you for the comparison photo.....like day an night. Taking into account the years and abuse of the originals it seems to match the color nicely.
