Its a nice car for sure.. but no..mine will be far more aggressive.

Up to 50mm wider all around. I'll see what looks best as I get it mocked up after the holidays.

I think that car is the best example of what one could hope to achieve w this kind of look tho..
Its called a recessed fender.

Mine will look cool..but no ones gna run out n cut their car up like mine Lol..
The above ride looks great for having utilised a standard side skirt too.

Go something a little more advanced than cutting the Oem fenders.

Throw in something we couldn't do by hand, and you'll have yourself a prize.

Lol the last widebody front fenders that were produced on the side never took off because a lot of people didn't want wide fenders. Sure it looks cooler, but not everyone wants to have to get new wheels/tires/spacers just to keep it looking decent, and then have the rear end all skinny.
If you do go wider don't make it too wide 15mm tops. That way, people can do a small spacer if they really need to

Yep.. just wait..

The amount of issues you'll have with "wide body" front fenders is far more than you're surely thinking.
Spacers.. OK..but not as easy when the back of your wheel is visible... I can't think of ANYTHING worse than a spaced out, wide body front sporting a recessed fender and skinny wheel meat showing Lol.

Ur gna have to use air bags or a 14k+ spring to fit this like you see on lb perf cars.

Best keep it the standard width or maybe the 10mm that driven already does etc.

Hope you guys can make something cool for the masses.... I just really want a one-off personally.

I emailed them and got a quote for 400$ a pair "tom style fenders"

Shipping is going to be different for everyone.

Guys they're just fenders not a big deal.

Just email them or pm me if you want a phone number

Take note: those are for the coupe, nobody's ever put them on the roadster. I didn't look up any guides, I didn't ask anyone, I just did it. That's what people need to start doing on here. Just fawking make the s*** you want.
