There arent any really good body shops in the midwest that I know of. If I have to drive to Cali to get what I want it is worth it. I have a brother out there any how. I could just make it into a vaction.

I went the "rolled" fender route because the FEED fenders are too crazy. I was trying to keep a more "street" look as opposed to the track look for this particular car. If I ever get another FD, it would definitely be more track oriented with the Feed rear fenders.

For a street car, I prefer simplified, clean, and adequately aggressive.

Ken

Hey Ken, with those rims and tires, are you running fender well up front, or is it simply open?

another question, are your aftermarket front fenders able to be mounted to OEM wheel well covers (the plastic or whatever material it is piece, that protects your engine bay from road debris)

For the front fenders, I only kept a small portion to protect debree from getting into the engine bay. The rest of the wheel well covers were cut and thrown in the trash. The fenders can use the OEM wheel well covers, but I tend to rub against them with my sizes.

Do your rear quarter panel flares include the FEED style fix for the gas door?
Does the gas door operate exactly like stock? In other words, the door opens as stock without popping off a cap or anything like that... thanks in advance.

The feed comes with an attachment that goes on top of your gas door, so it will operate just like stock

Ken, how much for the entire kit shipped to STL, MO? I mean the front and rear fenders, carbon fiber sidesteps, front bumper, FEED turn signals, carbon fiber canards, and also the "extreme" rear diffuser in carbon fiber, and the carbon fiber tail light cover that you have that looks "Stock"? Oh and NO hood. PM me the $ quote on all of that stuff shipped. I won't be able to buy until the summer but I want an idea of what this is going to run me.
Thanks,
Phil

Any after pics of this car? I wonder why they didn't mold the rear flares on. I'm not a fan of the bolted on look.

molded fenders have the tendency to crack between the molding due to vibration. ofcourse like all other fenders, its do-able at your own risk
