Default ATTN::::CarbonLTD...please read...

Still no word on the customers you sold the seibon fenders to about how the install and fitment was? if they needed a lot of prep work or if they fit pretty good???

if anyone else here has the seibon fenders or the sarona fenders please post how they fit...i heard 1 person say excellent fitment for sarona and some1 said there was a lot of prep work to get them to fit perfect...anyone??

I just realized the seibon vents are higher up on the fender than the sarona by a few inches

the horizontal line that goes thru the door will not continue on thru the top of the vent like on the sarona, but instead is located more in the middle of the vent


attached is a photoshop of my car showing what I mean, but even just eyeballing them, you can note the distance from the tops and bottoms of the fenders to the vent. The vent is clearly located in a different position and the size of the vents are different as well

What I have never figured out is the 10mm wider thing with the seibons. Seems to me like it'd make your wheel arch crooked or add unnecessary drag since it's not like the front bumper is also going to be 10mm wider, which is still part of the wheel arch

WOW...yea you can automatically see the difference....i think they both still look good but i do like sarona a little more for following that line in the door...good job at picking that out...and was there a lot of prep work that needed to be done to your sarona fenders??

i've seen those shark fenders for sale on sites before, but never have I seen anyone with them on their car

they have a nice price, almost too good...

the vents are more similar to the design of the seibon vents - they sit up high
