Default Viable Fender option... Ebay content

Whats up guys... well after the Cianci fiasco, I started to look for other fenders. Here's one that fit some of the requirements that some people had. I don't really like them personally but I know theirs people out there that may.

why don't you let me help you fab up the exact fenders you want from your existing fenders? would save a lot of fitment headaches and ultimately you can get what you want.

What fiasco? I thought it didn't happen because they needed people to put a down payment or something. Try the sarona fenders I have them, the vents serve no functionality though because of the fender liners.

knew that was going to happen with cianci. lots of talk but nothing follows through "because not enough interest" but yet they made a 599 kit that no one has bought yet from what I can tell.
anyway - GL on getting the fenders sorted to your liking.

On a different note:
Did you get any further on the carbon engine cover you were modding - was an hks cover for a g if I recall correctly? Still plans to make others for sale?

The idea was to show other people what's out there... I'm glad your considering it.

Yea... I'm working on getting the only one in the US but I'm still looking to fab the Mastergrade unit and see how many I can have produced. I'll keep you posted on it. I was thinking of having interchangeable front pieces on the front of the Mastergrade so you can have CF all the way down to the belts, some people don't want to clean up the front cover so if you can cover up to the belts... it should look nice.

The Fiasco is... you got to at least make a preliminary product for us to check out. If the fitment is bad... the money your going to pay to get it worked in correctly won't justify the fenders to begin with. You can graph an Escalade front end on a civic and make it look it belonged there... but for a crap load of money. The Sarona's are very nice looking, I don't have a liner b/c of the Do Luck. I have the Nissan CF brake duct that attaches to the hub so I'll not be running the liner in the near future either.

I don't really like the half circle vent... nor do I like the Amuse M3 style vent which angers me whenever I see one. Hey PM me the info for that HKS rep you know, apparently theirs a pulley bolt upgrade I no idea about and judging by the kit having a "Rotrex" badge and not a "HKS" one on the unit... it's probably really old.

What'd you do with Katy Perry?!!!!!

I was just bringing up for other guys not so much for me. Danny is going to do the Supercharger so we'll be seeing each other a lot this time around(No Homo).

guess i need to do one thing at a time, but im keenly aware the FI build will not be my last time changing the car.

However i am not stoked having to hide a HUGE intercooler behind my veilside front end... very small hole.

so now after all this, i was thinking of doing a Cwest front end all the vents n huge FMIC area... these fenders would look cool w a veislide over fender cutting across them, cut around that vent.. easy stuff to do. Cheap mods that can be done in a parking lot really.

PLUS it'd get rid of the overall VS look on my ride.. eesh. Oh well.. thanks for the link tho fa sho.... saved it in my watch list.

it cost me, ~$250 in labor to do this to the OE fenders prior to making the molds for my CF ones.... i like the ones you posted.. sorta similar to what i got,minus the outside portion..












i took my insipiration from the Option Z that crashed in the Silver State Classic

Cheston... has anyone come forward to get those molds from you? I like those b/c they're not cartoonish... I would get the blister fender's but I'd personally spring for an authentic front bumper first before getting authentic fenders. It seems pointless to have a knock off front bumper and authentic fenders.

again, it's likely cheaper to keep doing them one-off then
create molds and replicate... this will also eliminate fitment
issues at install.

Not feeling those Joel.

I like the Amuse LX or would recommend making your own.

Here is Alvin's Amuse LX's:
