If it's what I'm thinking of, it's gonna look like a cheap squarish trailer fender. I think there are better options out there. I'd probably look at old cycle fenders first. PA41 had some spare tire covers that looked cool....

The trailer fender is a great idea. And I have a chrome spare tire cover from a van I have been saving back too.

Go for it! If cheap and effective is what your looking for then why not? I've walked by those a 100 times at Tractor Supply and thought they would work great for a project myself. They have others that look similar to those on a Willys truck that I thought would look good too.

What you pictured above isn't bad at all - more rounded on the edges than what I was thinking. Maybe round off the front and back. Add some turn light to 'em too, or a trim piece.
