Hey guys, up here in Canada, my 2009 215000km fit starts to rust on the fenders. I was thinking that the easiest and most future proof solution would be to just cut the rusted metal and install black fender flares like we can see in some subarus. I think it would look nicely weather-proof up here in Montreal. So you guys know any place selling these? I've looked a bit on Google and haven't found much.... However it seems this would solve the problem every car has always had in Canada ...
Thanks

 

Those won't do a damn thing but cause more rust. The black cladding is just over the fender/quarter panel wheel arch.

 

If they are combined with arch molding that keeps moisture off they’ll do great. But yeah unless you find something exactly the right size I think it’ll be hard. It will be less effort to wash and spray your wheel wells with Pam once a week than build custom arches.

the 2nd gens lack any rear wheel arch molding and it’s a downside for sure :/
