I don't believe you are ever going to find "stock" looking fenders. every single overfender that I have seen is bolted on, and then people either leave the bolted look or spend the time and hard work to glass over the bolts. Even then, it is likely for cracks to become a problem
Another thing I don't get, is that with the yellow one at first glance it doesn't look widebodied. If you stare at it long enough you're like "OK i can kinda see the widebody" but to me it's less noticable that you spent time and effort on it for what looks like an inch or two, unless you see the build process
So it looks like I'm going to have to get some wider fenders. My +22 offset and 275 front & 295 rears are poking out just a bit. And I have to get 2.5mm spacers to fit the Akebono's I want up front. I've done all kinds of searches for subtle fender flares but I keep coming up with styles that have rivets. I don't need much of a flare. Does anyone have any suggestions on some styles?
No all flares have to be bolted on, either by the side bolts or the old GM style fender trim that bolted into the fender lip...there isn't a way around it unless you use ones that will fall off
I do like the Veilside fenders but it does look like I can do just those. It looks like you have to have the front, rear, and side skirts as well. Any thoughts?

Nope cant have just the flares. The rear flares have pieces that extend to the rear bumper and the rear half of the skirt. The front flare has the front half of the skirt. And the bumper has the front part of the front flares molded in. You have to buy the whole kit for it to look right

what are your wheels 12 inches wide? The suspension should adjust enough to make them fit under stock fenders... If you get a wifebody kit you will need new wheels...
On a side note you could add that little nismo flare for that extra 1/4 inch.

My fronts are 10.8" and the rears are 11.6". The offset and tire size combination are what's hurting me. My tread block is poking out slightly. A 1/4" flare would work.
I just did some searching for them and it looks like they're only for the rear. I need some fronts as well.
