REamemiya fender name, any copycats?
 
Hey guys, looking for the name of these fenders, specially the front ones. I know corksport makes some bolt on flares that sorta match this, but I'd like to stay away from bolt on's.

Anyone know of any imitations of these, as well?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Called Panspeed Front Over Blisters

Your correct Corksport does make a copy, however nobody makes an entire fender with the blister attached to it. Thnx

Thanks man. But thats a bolt on too..
So whatd they do? Just make an aluminium cast and weld,grind,bondo it on?

Or is that even possible? They just made a custom kit I'm assuming. How to duplicate it..

Like everyone else who has installed it, they attach via rivets into the stock fender.

What RE-A has done in those pictures was attach and mold into the stock fender.

Unfortunately, BOLT ON is your only option. The blister is made of FRP from corksport, i have yet to see one made of any other material.

Aww well that's too bad. But i'm not giving up on the idea.

Now I'm split between fabricating an aluminum cast out of the frp corksport flare, then cut the stock fender to size. Weld the aluminum cast on, grind the outside weld seems smooth, puddy the little pits i can't get to by grinding to make it extra smooth and then repaint.

"Or"

Cut the fender to size, temporarly secure the corksport flare to the fender and create a foam mold on the otherside (trim the mold to look like stock just with the extra flare added), fiberglass it up and then trim it agn, sand buff and repaint it.

Thanks for the help wings, seems like I have some work ahead of me. But gonna see how possible this is to reduplicate.
