Question corksport widebody fenders

Has anyone got these on their car, or at least seen them in person before? They seem "ok" in this picture, but it's hadr to tell if it screws up the body lines too much with the vent and all.

Might be crossing the line into riceland. What do you guys think?

They are about 5 pounds each fiberglass and under 400 a pair. Maybe not a bad deal if you have smashed up fenders, or maybe it would bastardize your FC?

They look good enough, but they don't have anything that matches for the rear fenders. They have a kind of dumb looking stick-on fender, but that's about it.

yeah they look like hell. I am a big fan of corksport because they are making a attempt to make aftermarket parts for our cars but they need to get some rear fenders going

they also need to get a decent set of pics of that front one. I asked them long ago when they first came out for some better pics. have yet to see them.

They look good and the wider aspect appeals to me, and were reasonably priced for 'glass IMO. But having not seen a decent angle on them on a car, I have since purchased a good used set of stockers for my car and have moved on.

Too bad too, I really like them, but not going to fork over the dough until I can see some on-car shots -- and the photochop stuff I've seen isn't the same.

turns out the corksports are replicas of BN sport type II fenders but half the price. they only flair out 30mm less than 1.25 inches. I went to the BN webpage, but the pics are all little red x's Anybody else seen these fenders?

I've seen a few different pictures of them. The Corksport fenders are copies of the BN Sports fenders. I like the way they look and will probably buy them when I have money for another set of wheels. I have a few pictures. Let me try to attach them.

That looks like a type of hatch they sometimes use over in Japan. I agree it is disgusting. Even cooler is the 'tiger' graphic

I have them and test fitted them on my old FC, fit was decent and they look pretty good with the body lines. I might be selling them if anyone is interested as I need money to actually get the new RX runnin.

hmm, still not sure based on those pics.. just need a better quality pic I guess. A nice front shot down the fender and a nice side shot...

Good way to lose a few pounds up front and really not a bad price for a set of replacement fenders IMO.

anyway, I'd be interested in them too RXSE7N if you decide to sell.

I cant seem to find those on thier website, only the "feed" widebody fenders.

I have to say, i like those BN fenders, if Corksport had matching rear ones i would be very interested. I like them because they dont stick out to a rediculous factor like the Mariahs do.

So with those front fenders, you could run some deep dish 18x9" wheels right!.........So maybe with matching rear flares you could run.....say.....18x10.5 in the back!

Yeah I will probably by them again in a year or so, just need money for my turbo, standalone, etc...They are unpainted and like I said, I just set them on the car without bolting them to just see what they looked like. They still have the original white coating on them. Looking for $300 if one of you guys want to save some money.
