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.

how do they fit with the "stock" rear quarters? do they stick out farther or is it pretty uniform?

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.
