Template to make Omega bumper flares

Here is the pics. To make the other side just flip it over. I used a sheet of stainless from HomeDepot for $15 and you can make 2 sets. If you need any more pics let me know.

Here is what the end looks like.

See the diff? Mine doesnt have them and my brothers does. I have 225 tires and he only has 205

The how-to install them

Thank you, a few of the local guys have them here and I was debating on getting or making them to see how well it's turn out and look.

So, essentially this just pushes the bumper out to the sides a little ? Interesting....
I may have to see about someone making a set for me because I'm not a metal fab'er by any means.

Thanks for idea

I think I like it!

of course you could just make them and sell them as a group buy...

ooooh, ok, so you screw these into the holes in the body that are presently there and then screw the bumper into the new flares... nice, I LIKE it.

Since I spent the money on the set and posted to info someone that does a GB should be sending me a set LOL
I dont remember the size I used sorry. The thicker the better. The ones I have direct from Omega are very thin

how far in are the holes to be drilled, how big is the top part of the flare, and how far apart are the holes from each other?

But with this not deformed the bumper a long time ago for use this?

I think you're asking, that the bumper may be too formed in its way already for this to work?

It does work, very well, it helps to flatten out the bumper to cover plus sized wheel/tire combo, plus some people just like the look.

.... how would we go about pushing the fenders out a little more though....? I want an even and smooth look down the side of my car... i dont want the bumper to be the only thing sticking out that far....

The bumper doesn't stick out that far. The bumper ends up sitting flush with the fender instead of sucking inwards towards the bottom. See here:

Izero · Post by **Izero** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:52 pm

contagious18 · Post by **contagious18** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:54 pm

yea, im trying to figure out also

Izero · Post by **Izero** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 11:45 pm

ok so this is my make-shift drawing from the dimensions shown..... anyone know if they are all 100% correct or what?

Izero · Post by **Izero** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 8:14 pm

so i guess ill take that as a no...?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 8:32 pm

I like the look of the tires sticking out a bit. Makes it look more aggressive.. eh..

Izero · Post by **Izero** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 7:12 pm

yea well i wanna make it too but i need to know if my measurements are correct or not....

Izero · Post by **Izero** » Sun Aug 24, 2008 5:09 pm

well I went ahead and made myself a set for the front, if you wanna see the results go check out my progress thread... I used Aluminum instead of stainless steel... so if anyone wants me to make them a set toss me a PM, it will be $25 shipped for the front set... haven't made the rears yet...

SlvrACR · Post by **SlvrACR** » Sun Aug 24, 2008 6:56 pm

LOL making money off a design i posted for free. Your welcome. Glad I bought them to help you out.

If you are going to become a vendor of these, you should...

1. Send all required information to Diablo0
2. Wait for approval
3. Post a thread in the Vendor Section

Unless you have a bunch of these made up already you will probably considered a made to order vendor. If you have a bunch made up and are selling them, you will still need to post a thread in the proper section.

I intend to... gotta stop and get more materials and I'll go through the motions thanks

Gotta pay for school somehow...? :-\ and its not like I'm charging an arm and a leg to do it... barely making a profit on these specially since I'm using Aluminum instead of stainless steel, I like the properties of Aluminum vs. stainless, regardless of cost... I think I'm actually gonna refine the design a little more... Make it a little more Hidden, as well as maybe make a few different widths, just like the real ones...

sidenote: I'm actually working on a design for retro-fitting the LED tails into a 00-02 Tail Light housing too... just waiting for a good deal on the tails so I don't feel terrible about hacking up a set of expensive tail lights to begin with... but If no one else has done it, then I guess I'll be the first? I hope.... I just gotta figure out what the best way to physically attach the LEDs to the 00-02 housing, then it would be all set...

The first pic, the metal looks curved, but on the template they're not curved at all. Is that just an illusion because of the way the metal is bending, or what?

You're missing a few measurements. Also, the bottom edge is straight on the diagram, but the picture has them slanted. Is that supposed to be your version of looking at it at an angle, or what?
