I have no idea what that would cost to have done at a shop, but it sure is one sick Elantra.

I don't understand by pulling the fender? That's a body kit not a mod'd stock body. Sorry I just woke up hope that makes sense.

If you stretch your body such as doing your wheel wells to fit in larger rims the paint goes a bit blurry as well so you might have to concider the cost of a paint job too.

Its a little difficult to see from those pics, but it can be done. It involves alot of metal work to make it look good. Only people who have the experience should tackle that type of job, which will make it pretty expensive to have done depending on where you go, and if you can find someone qualified to do the job. If they dont do it right, the metal will appear warped and out of shape, causing the paint to actually look wavey, and even possibly making the paint chip off due to an uneven surface that it was sprayed on.

To save money, you could always get a set of low profile fiberglass fender flares, and have a shop mold them on. It will be alot easier to do that, the cost wont be as high, and you'll still have the same effect....to a point. Otherwise, you may be on a mission for a while to find someone who can do good metal work and bend the fenders outward and still make it look professional and good.

Get several quotes. I'm sure they'll differ.
