Default Any pictures of the Seibon Rear Fenders?

Here it is from the side....

I want to see how that top line ends in the back and how it flows into the rear bumper.



Anyone have them or got some more pics? Nice way to widen the rear without having to have a widebody kit.

I have always been interested in these... but my experience with all things
seibon/vis has been VERY negative. They're not cheap and their quality is
7/10 at best. If this is an overlay (as the rear is unibody on some level) I
cannot imagine it looks great without a ton of work.

From what I've heard the rears overlay the factory quarter panels (but may require some cutting of the factory panel). Unfortunately that is all hearsay.

Good luck.

Arnt those part of a cwest(?) wide body kit? i wasnt aware that seibon made a knock off? They would definitly be overlay, i dont see a piece of carbon in that size being a realistic replacement to that much of the cars body.

No, its the seibon rear fender not c-west. I seen it back months before just never knew who made them.

I didn't even know that they were overlays - I just thought there were direct replacements - Cause if you have to mold it in, that that means that you would have to paint over the carbon fiber. The first pic is the piece in matte carbon fiber.

Well - I'm just looking to widen the rear without having to buy a widebody kit.

Carbon fiber or not - if anyone knows if they make a frp version of the rear and the front....please chime in.

I don't think they do. Most places you can get fender flares seperate from the complete kit- check ilovebodykits or andysautosport.

there are companies that make full replacement pieces, not overlays. i was talking to someone who had one (dont remember his brand) but he said he had it rivted in where the normal OEM fender mounted to the frame. ill see if i can dig up who it was and the conversation

this is a copy of the do-luck rear fender, it is an overlay and requires a deal of work if you want it to appear "factory fit" Not to mention all the work to repair the car should you change your mind and want go back to stock...

Please do. So far I've only seen overlays, but a full replacement would be awesome. Sometimes people cut up the oem and rivet in overlays, maybe that's what the guy did?
