High Clearance Front Fenders?

High Clearance Front Fenders?
After hitting a deer last night my right front fender is toast. And my left front fender is kinda crumpled from another confrontation with a tree. So I need two front fenders. I'd like fiberglass or metal fenders that give me more tire clearance, but the only ones I can find are the downey ones, and I don't like the round wheel opening. I don't need ones that look like stock. I just want a squarish opening with more clearance. I don't really want much bulge if any. Anybody know of any?
Im just afraid the round opening would look too weird with my factory rear fenders. Does anybody have any side pictures of a first gen 4Runner or second gen truck with the round fenders?

you can trim a pair of stock fenders for more clearance, you can run fiberglass fenders and trim the rear wheel wells to look rounded, you can get fiberglass from more than just downey

toyotafiberglass.com makes one that looks just like the factory square, but sticks out 3" wider. check the site, may have what you need.

I cut the factory fenders, I think it looks pretty good, used a pneumatic nibbler which gave it a nice edge even. I realize the body style is different but the concept is the same.

I also need to figure out what I'm gonna do on the inside of the fenders. I play in a lot of mud, and my stock inner fenders do a good job of keeping mud out of areas where it will cause rust. So hopefully with newer high clearance fenders it wont be hard to get the mud out.
