will it work with stock side skirts? Why the hell doesn't seibon show pictures of their parts on actual cars?

they've been out for awhile now, like 8 months or something, but no one has put them on

chances are if you see any vented fender pictures, they're sarona fenders that someone paid $1500 to get them modified to fit right
someone here said the fitment was perfect for the sarona fenders

I've looked into them for over a year now and something like 5 people with them that said fitment was as bad as it can get

i guess some are different...you can probably get a perfect made set or u might get a set that is off....which does suck...they all should be made to fit perfect...

wonder how the seibon fit?

i still would really like the sarona fenders

I recently sold a few pair of fiberglass fenders. I'll have them send me some installation pics.

I'd be all over them if I could just see what this 10mm wider business means.

They are 10mm wider at the top to fit the vent in the side. It will fit fine with side skirts.

Dont mean to thread jack to the OP but you may consider the ASUKA Designs CF fender. Not to rain on anyones parade but the Seibon is not the greatest quality. I personally had a Seibon OEM CF hood and was not happy with it at all. There were huge gaps from the hood and the fender and the weaves were not consistant. Ive seen a lot of other Seibon stuff and honestly am not impressed with it. All the ASUKA Design CF pieces use a vacuum infused process for the highest quality. Instead of using a fiberglass frame, epoxy is used for lighter weight and rigid structure. As far as the vent, it is supposedly a functional brake duct but it has not been wind tunnel tested. I can almost guarantee that the fitment will probably be perfect and I couldnt say the same about Seibon. ASUKA Designs does not mass produce their product in CHINA. It is all manufactured in Southern California with very tight quality control. You can even retain using the factory splash guards with the ASUKA CF fenders. Every piece is inspected and fitted for the highest quality. Just let the pics speak for themselves...
