Does anybody know if the original FEED fenders are metal or fiberglass?

Yep, they are rolled (and the paint cracked & chipped). I'm planning on repainting the car over the winter so I'm trying to decide if I'm going with the Feed fenders or not.

LoL I'm the only one that likes that flat look I guess.

Mahjik:
There is no more side vent, its gets tossed along with the stock fender. I love the way it looks, since you dont... youll have to think about it hehe, but it definitely will give you some extra breathing room for your pretty wheels. If you really hate the look (damn you!) you might want to ask around and see if there are any other Japanese companies that make similar wider fenders to get you that extra clearance you need.

Trav:
They are FRP, just like RotaryExtremes.

Nameless,

Don't get me wrong, I don't "hate" the flat side part. Even if I did, your car still looks great! Further more, I appreciate you getting the originals so Chuck could make replicas (since that's what I'm looking at getting).

I might have that side cut when I get them. I'm not sure. I'm looking at also adding sideskirts but I don't really care for the Feed sideskirks. The problem is whatever ones I use will need to be modified to work with the Feed fender so I might have the fender modified at the same time.

Who knows what I'll end up doing but I really do need that extra clearance Feed offers so the fenders are pretty much a done deal. Cutting them is not.

Nameless, Thanks for the info. Like Mahjik, I am gratefull (mostly jelous) that you have originals so they could make replicas. I'm again with Mahjik in the fact that if I was to get them, I would cut the side. It just looks too cool on that blue FD!

Were the fenders on that blue car cut or did they just get contoured and molded?

It sounds and looks like the EDGE of the FEED fender might have just been removed. He has 18`s with a 30 tire, but since quite a bit of room, even though the car is sitting pretty low.

I like the edge on the side, I have no complaints there, but I will be removing the lip on the inside of the fender, since you cant roll FRP hehe

Look on the charcoal colored FD's fenders. Above the wheel (12:00 position), the fenders have a flat edge that extends, parallel with the rim face, about a 1/2 inch (?) before turning in towards the center of the car. Now look at the Blue FD. In the same position you will notice that the fenders contours end right at the edge of the fender. I like the look of the Blue FDs fenders personaly but would love to have either one.
