I did. LOL jk. My tires did it for me. Haha. Generally, it'll run $300-500. My friend's body shop quoted me $300/fender to repair my fender damage, flare them like that, and repaint. :P

Theres no way you'll get that done for 300-500. Those weren't rolled with a fender roller. It involves welding a whole piece of steel into your fender, grinding it down, finishing it, and then you have to paint the whole rear section of the car. More like 1,500-2000.

This is a link to a set of pictures that shows Dave Powell doing it to an 09 F for a SEMA show. He actually molds his own front bumper as well.. I called him up and asked what he charges for the whole body kit and it was around 6k (including paint).

Yeup..

That was a 2008 pre-production IS-F built by Fox Marketing for SEMA 2008.....
That car was provided by Lexus and is owned by Lexus Corp. USA.

Not a $300-$500 by any means... LoL

The blue Fs rear fenders were done by the same company that did his twin turbo kit. All that was well over $10k lol. Pay to play. It's not going to be cheap.

I agree that it looks incredible, but as others have said you'll easily end up spending $1,500+ for a job well done. Rolling them doesn't cost too much, but adding flares is a whole different story.

You can watch the video of him describing all the mods to his car. Not sure if he mentions the lid spoiler but its most likely ventross to match his front spoiler..
