25 Episode Mentions

Too Afraid to Ask

Fender flares are extra panels that stick out from the sides of a car to fit wider tires or make it look more powerful. They also keep dirt from splashing up.

Technical Definition

Fender flares are extensions added to the outer edges of a car’s fenders to accommodate wider tires or to give a more aggressive stance. They also help protect the body from debris.
