Thanks everyone for the comments! I'm glad all my hard work paid off.
They are actually made out of some gutter guard material that you can get at home depot for real cheap. There should be a DIY somewhere in this forum. I Made it before any of the ones you can buy started coming out.

Its not too hard if your work on cars. If you don't then you should get it done professionally.
But heres some tips:
First of all, i will not take any responsibility on any damages people might do to their cars because of my little guide of how i did it.
Well first you need a pipe. So i bought a Black ABS plastic pipe from home depot for under 5 bucks. It was 2 inches wide in diameter and about 2 feet long.
Then you need a heat gun so you don't crack your paint.
So what you do is use your jack that comes with the car and you lift the side your going to work on. The trick is not to jack it all the way up. You just want to jack it up enough so you can fit the pipe in. Then you want to heat up the fender where you are going to roll it and then you stick the pipe in and slowly lower the car. The pipe should be at a 45 degree angle now. Then you just start rolling the pipe back and forth. Also remember to it in small sections and always heat it up. When it's all bent you can then take your hammer and start pounding it. Use your other hand and hold the outside of the fender, while your hammering the inside. And be sure to always heat it up! Good luck.
More pics tomorrow! time to sleep.
