I think I might have found a shop to do this. I'm hoping I'll know for sure by today or early next week. I still need to take pictures, but I will very soon.

I asked the bodyshop, but they couldn't help me out.

Well keep at it I know I much rather use metal then FG I have even entertained the idea of using 911 fenders. So if this can happen I would love to buy a pair.

Please Help!!!

If ANYONE knows a very reputable shop I could send these to to get replicated PLEASE contact me. I really don't mind going through the trouble to duplicate them, but I need it done FAST. My car's in the bodyshop as we speak and they will eventually need these back to put them on.



Right now, I'm trying to find a local shop to atleast duplicate one set so I can use the original for my car. We can use the duplicated one and hopefully find an awesome fabricator to copy these for everyone else!

i was waiting to see a group buy for these but if you don't have anyone lined up to make these ill give it a shot, i would only need your metal flares just to trace all 6 sides and send them back to you same day.

did you notice any warpage from welding?

let me know if you are interested.

I had this information somewhere before, but off the top of my head I can't remember. I believe it's 23 or so mm, but don't quote me on that. My wheel offsets are not yet proven so I won't give out that information. Here's a few pics of the wheel though, if you care to see:

These are the burnout kit fenders...only they've been replicated in steel. The original burnout fenders are made out of glass or a hybrid material, depending on where you purchase them from.

I am remember the thread when you purchased this off a forum member, why don't you just ask them where they got it done?
