Any one got Feed Fenders?

I am rebuilding another Turbo 2 but this one is in need of two new fenders and some other bits and peices.

As i live in the UK i'm finding it hard to get parts for T2's let alone 2 Fenders in good condition.

So i was thinking of geting some Feed fenders (Flared ones) and fitting them to a fairly standard car (apart from the REAmemyia FC2000 Cowl).

To cut a long story short i would like to know if anyone has them on there car, what there opinion is of them and how well they fit.

I am also looking for pictures of cars that have them fitted for an idea of how Flared they are (as the rear isn't done, i dont want it to look daft).

Thanks.

Chris

Why not buy the Corksport BN fender copies??? They are only $375 which i bet is way cheaper than the Feed's, and they give +30mm in the front!

www.corksport.com click rx7, then 2nd gen, then exterior miscellaneous

I was thinking about getting the corksport copies, but since the TurboII sideskirts aren't compatible with them.. sucks.

I emailed corksport and they said that they wern't sure if it fit or not, so I took it as it didnt at all.

The front part of the S5 sideskirts connect with the fender.. so I guess if you rig it, it can work.
