I didn't know if you just wanted the best fenders in general or the best flares. I think these are the best fenders IMO but don't know how much wider wheel/tire they let you go with.

Yeah, changed my mind again - though just thinking about using a different set of flares - if I can figure out what they are and if I can get them hehe:

IF I do get flares, I'm going to try to have them duplicated in sheetmetal still. Those rear flares seem to match the FEED front wide fenders nicely. I'd likely leave that FG though, but may have the shop make it look 'whole' again.

The Panspeed's have a very high fender arch line, and was likely intended for circuit/track cars that were meant to be lowered alot anyways. Would likely not be streetable lowered like that. Panspeed pics in the link above.

Intersting point. the kit in that pic looks more extreme than I remember. Do you know if they offer more than one version?

The bottom rear flares are the most similar to those in the pic. The rest may just be fronts and flares for other models. I assuming the existing rear fenders would need to be cut so that the wheels could travel up and inside the aftermarket extensions without bottoming against the stock sheetmetal. If I was going to go that far I'd get the fenders copied in metal.

Yeah, I don't fully get that fender...


I like the border fender, but I wish they had a version without the grates on top.
