Corksport(panspeed) Over fenders

Was curious if anyone is using these, how much more room is gained and what size tire you can fit in front and rear?

I'd just e-mail them and ask

Here's what SoloIIdrift is referring to. They look MUCH better when painted and rivited/intigrated:

I already emailed Corksport, they responded and are clueless, no idea how big of tire, and dont have any other pics....pretty impressive for a product they are selling.

Correct the white RE car has them molded in the front. Apparently Corksport has sold a few sets so all I need to do is find the people here in the US that have them...

here's what the front would look like molded

Those are actual RE fenders, not Panspeed/Corkspot toss on's. Trust me. Although a great looking functional fender they were never truly "released" to the public as a product by RE.

They look like crap.
I'd rather go with the Mariah replacement front fenders (do they make rear extensions?), and I HATE Mariah (Mode 946595385367949) body kit products.

Ted, thanks for that valuable piece of self perpetuated humble insight.

Tack on is tacky... I Love the RE because they are for a race car and on a racecar hence why you do not see them offering them for sale to every Ted, Dick or Harry.

While I value your opinion, it's not what I'm looking for.

I think molded they will look decent, if I can find anyone that's done it that would be great.

I'm skeptical about the corksport overfenders...they aren't even installed in the picture, just held on by tape. You'd think a company selling a product would at least install them on a car to show you...stuff from them is either hit or miss. I've heard very good things about their border knock off nose and I have their mazdaspeed front lip which is great - Their service kinda stinks though if you ask me...everything takes forever.

Why not just by the wider front fenders that Corksport sells?

Why wouldn't I buy them?

I've heard they fit horrible in every possible way. If I was going with complete fenders I'd get the Mariah EP fenders.

I've seen them upclose. The fit is absolute ****. They would bend when the door opens, and the gaps are all off.

Thank you for confirming on the corksport widebody fenders.

This is why I'm hoping the overfenders might be an option, anyone have any experience with them?

mr amemiya did mention that those were panspeed overfenders in the option video though, panspeed sells the whole fender in fiberglass with molded overfenders as well, not just the fender covers -alex

There is one other option. Extreme dimensions has flared fenders for our cars. Go to the website. I think they were like 335 a pair though.

Thanks for the tip, know anyone who is using them?

Looks like a Tripoint copy.

No you don't. Thats yen per liter.

1 gallon = 3.78 liter
1 gallon = 374.22 yen
374.22 yen = $3.39 US / Gallon
