mariahmotorsports.com has the FG wide fenders that are closer to stock body lines- $270 each.

I have read good things about their quality and fit and bad about the Corksport vented fender.

Corksport fenders: The fitment isn't perfect, but it could be alot worse.

I seem to remember reading of quality and fitment issues w/ the vented Corksport fenders. Better do a forum search and PM someone who has bought and fitted these.

I saw some in Dltreezan's pics of his garage, but he is on a long trip.

I called mariah to place the order. $600 shipped for the set if I remember correctly. It was like a year ago.

Marks: I've got 225s up front at the moment with plenty of clearance, so you should be ok with 245s with these, I'd think.

No, the vents don't get hot air out of the engine bay. If you take off the front fender, the chassis metal is in the way.

If somebody banned you because you posted that, I'd be extremely disappointed. The aero kit is one of the best that I've seen on an S4. Has nobody ever seen that car in an older Sport Compact Car...? It's the 2nd gen. RX-7 that made me want to get one.

Mariahs fenders will allow 255s up front (They've checked many brands) with the correct offset wheel.
