Default Carbon Fiber Fender Flares/xB..

I want to get some of these. I did a Search in here and it came up with other carbon parts besides the fenders. I found a company that makes universal carbon fiber flares but would rather get some that are specifically made for my xB.
If I can't find some I will probably just go with the flares that Scion Sport sells. Oh yeah I want these because I am possibly getting some wheels with a 15mm offset and want to cover everything up.

By sticking out more wouldnt they cover my tires. And why would i have to cut my fenders??

Edit:: I think i get what you mean. Your talking about cutting them to get more clearance for the tires to go up into the wheel wells. Right?

Actually i am currently running my steelies with a tein s-tech drop and well in a period of o say 1 hour, i decided against the smaller offset wheels. I was cruising around with a toaster full (all seats taken) of friends today and got out to check how my ride height was and decided i would be much much much better off with some 40mm or 35mm offset wheels. The reason being, when i had my back seat full, my rear tires tucked under my fenders by at least half an inch. If i ran a 15mm offset my rear tires would be gone in half a second. So nevermind AND IGNORE THIS POST EVERYONE!!! But thanks anyway.

Gene has a set of cf flares on his xB. I'm not sure where he got them from.

This thread is locked, but his green xB is in it.

Gene got his Flares from a company based out of Chula Vista, CA or San Diego named team prototype/cftype.com. They are the ones that did all his carbon fiber, very good place.
But if I remember correctly they were charging like 2 something just for the flares. So an arm and a leg. But, you get what you pay for, good quality. :D
