Don't have a pic but a buddy has them on his car, they are REALLY clean looking. Good fit and they are hard to tell that they're aftermarket - very subtle and clean.

My question is, most people roll the factory fenders, buying you 3/8-1/2", but if these have a factory like lip, you can't roll it so haven't you just ended up with the same net clearance?

Not sure on how much you can gain with rolling the stock fenders. Really rolling the fenders just flattens the lip out so the tire doesn't rub/grab it and pull it out.

I don't remember these having a factory like lip, but I haven't seen them in a while .

These have no "factory like" lip and are beautifully made. Like Dale said, you can't really roll the stock fenders that much.

I have these on my car. Search my build thread. Quality part. However, body work needs to be done to eliminate the waviness in the FRP.

How do they connect to the fender liners?

^ Not well. I had to add in an extra strip of liner material to widen out the fender liners, so the liners now "sit" in the Shine fender lip. It seems to work out okay, but I wish Shine had built in a provision to attach the liners to the fenders. As I also recall, there is a UK company that makes fender liner extensions, but I don't recall their name.

Thanks for the input. Concept-7 makes the liner extenders, IIRC.

You can email them and ask for details. I did that a few years ago. They call them "arch liner extensions" and I was quoted £20 plus postage.
