hi,Just curious as to whether it is possible to add the "flares" if thats what they are called to pathfinders that dont come with it. What i mean is the moulding at the edges of the wheelwells. Some pathfinders dont come with it and i think it makes the car more bulky and nice.can these be purchased separately? where? how much? easy DIY?i hope someone understands what am trying to describe....

Thanks just1time

easy, DIY cause you just have to drill some holes in the fender, but i think i remember seeing a same question like this one here, and it ended up its like 2 grand to buy the flares etc, dont quote me on that, but im pretty sure i saw it.

Which year?

https://www.4x4parts.com/catal...d=610 has a set of 4 for $310, but only for 96-99 Pathys.

$200 to 400 for flares. they just screw it on mine, pretty simple to install. mine look stock though.

I see your location as Toronto... do you guys have something like a salvage yard?Here in the Washington we have one called Pull A Part.If you're looking to save money a salvage yard will be your best bet.However let it be known you may not find what you're looking for the first time, you may have to make several visits and to several salvage yards.If you go the Ebay route depending on the model year you can find some for less than 200$.

dude, you need to drive south to the puyallop area, there are quite a few yards down there with pathys. when I lived there I saw quite a few. its a bit of a drive, so I'd get on yellowpages.com and search salvage yards that way first.

Just saw this website with 'generic' flares. Not sure how they'd look but I thought I'd post it here anyways:
