Hello,

All carbon fiber parts (unless otherwise specified), are carbon fiber layed over fiberglass. We do not stock these fenders in our wearehouse, they are shipped out of NY, therefore, pickup is a possibility, but shipping charges will still apply. Thank you.

For faster service, please call number listed below to order. Thank you.

For more exciting products for your vehicle, please visit our website at www.OctaneMotorSports.com

So we have to really wonder who makes these fenders. They did not answer as to which picture represents the fenders.

Looking at the website, I see that they are dealing Erebuni body kits. The pictures on ebay look like the Erebuni fenders. They showed the first one, below, the Z3, and the third one, the shark. The middle one was not on ebay, that is the SLR fender. All are list $440 a pair on the Erebuni website.

Default GD - they changed the picture on the ebay listing!!!!

Now they have deleted the Z3 and Shark fender pictures, and put in the SLR fender picture which they didn't even show before. WTF?

At least we now know that they are Erebuni fenders. Anyone have any experience with the Erebuni CF fenders? Fitment? Quality?

Cheston - does your fender look like this? If so, can test fit for us and tell us how's the fitment on those. Place next to your stock fender just to get an idea of the fitment.

no. these fenders i designed my self, im sure no has the plug except for FI, and they're not willing to do anything about it any more.. so i guess i have the only set..


here are my fenders. i have not test fit them since i havent had the time (i know i know.. shoot me)





i got the originals here with me too, so i dont 'need' them per-say, so i would like someone else to mfg them..

Default Dumb question?

What or how are those blanks? I was thinking of going with that style fender but didn't really want carbon or fiberglass. (Thanks to my little mishap I need a driver side fender anyway....among other things).

Is there a place to buy them in sheet-metal?

Thanks,
Hammer

mainly i'm asking for anyone that has experience with a company that manufactures CF or FRP products, that they use my 'plug' of the fender design, as to create more of these fenders..

i'm not giving them away, per say, but i'd let a company borrow them... i paid almost 6xx to get these in labor and parts to make the shape just the way i wanted it, and i'd rather turn that into an investment than a one off deal..

Cheston: FiberImages does not want to manufacture your style fenders? After the plug was produced? And cannot now because you have the plug? Do I understand this correctly? What a drag.

Yea. sucks. they have the mold of the fenders, meaning they have the capabilities to make them. but they're not ... why? i dunno. i own the plug/design. and one set of prototype fenders.. the ones pictured. they're all carbon, however wet lay.. but they're lighter than stock that's for sure..

I was looking at FiberImages as my backup plan if I couldn't get a cheaper set. Rickdawg has some kind of connection with a manufacturer, perhaps they are interested????

They emailed me and told me they moved. They also said these are not in stock at their location. So much for that!

YES. PM me if u want.

i have a shop in Fullerton i'm thinking about, they do alot of good stuff, but we'd probably have to get a group buy something in order to front the mold costs.. (4k+)
