Difference in Fenders?

I’ve done a number of different searches so excuse me if this is already been asked and answered as I haven’t found it anywhere…

But what is the shape difference and design between the Foresight and Orgin 30mm ventless fenders?
I’ve found a number of different pictures on this forum… sometimes one of the same car claiming both Orgin and Foresight fenders.
So I can’t tell the difference what so ever between the two. I’m new to working on the body. but my front right fender is damage from a lovely lady who couldn’t drive, and my back right was damaged from a truck backing up into it in a parking lot and taking off… So wide fenders is an option.

In some photos where both Orgin and Foresight fenders are claimed… They look pretty crappy, where as some photos that claim both, looks pretty clean. So if I have to fork out some money I want to make sure I pick up the cleanest set.

If it helps, I appreciate the stock lines and body work that compliments the cars natural lines… using wide fenders may sound like the opposite of that, but I seen many wide fenders that look just like the stock ones just wider.

The problem with fiberglass fenders is that they all suck... There are a few company's out there that make some better than others but none fit like stock the ones u see that fit really good has had lots of work to get them to fit that way best advice is to buy a set and make sure ur body man knows fiberglass stay away from chaser aero they r some of the worst fiting

with almost all FG and even CF you have to accept that there is going to be some additional reworking necessary.

i've only seen a few for most any 7 that fit decently out of the box and i would consider those to have been luck of the draw and not duplicated regularly. even shine has fitment issues here and there and i would consider them one of the best companies as far as fitment and quality goes.

ShineAuto Project makes fiberglass Foresight 30mm replica fenders that look stock to even 90% of FC owners.
