All widebody kits replace the front fenders. Any other kits just have stick/screw on pieces.

Mariahs and just about any other rear fenders mould on. The fronts are always replaced in a widebody kit.

Just remember that the widebody fenders are of course wider than stock. Do you have a widebody kit on your car?

No not yet but i didnt want one if it just molded onto the front fenders i want to replace the fenders cuz they have rust. The rest of the car is for the most part rust free the storage bins the floors fender wells all clean just the lower edges of the fender are rusted.

Ok, well no need to worry about rust there again if you get a widebody. All are made out of fiberglass (kind of obvious now that I think about it, since ALL body kits are fiberglass). I personally like the Mariah mode one kit the best. Next is CP racing if you want a really wild kit.

You can find the Mariah kit at www.mariahmotorsports.com . IMO, their kit is the best when the car is painted two tone, split top to bottom. You can see some pics of very nice cars on their site.

The CP racing kit can be found at www.cpracing.com . Their kit is VERY wild. I think with the mariah you can fit up to 8" rims on front and 8.5" rims on the back (not totally sure, its been a long time since I looked at it), but the CP racing kit can fit 9" rims in front I think and 10" rims on back. Absolutely massive.

Its a little harder than just an add on. You have to actually mould the rear fenders on using epoxy that they supply, then you have to repaint the car if you ever want it to look right.

BTW, those are rim widths.

I ordered the Kit from them 2 years ago when My rear Flares where torn off by some drunk bitch. I have the Catalog at home and I'll post the part number.

It's been a while, so there's a chance they don't carry it any more just like CPracing.
