Question ORIGIN LAB 50mm Rear Over Fender

http://www.origin-labo.jp/pc/gt/prod...der/index.html

Sure is.


I trying to score a set of these through another forum vendor

anyways, I figured if I'm getting them I wanted to ask you guys if you wanted to take a mold off of them to add to your product inventory.

I'm getting a set of the Burnout Rear flares, but I want to see them side by side before I choose which one I actually install on my FD.

Let me know what you think

I don't see why you'd try to make a replica when the real thing can be had for a reasonable price in the US through an easily accessible vendor.

EXACTLY WHAT I'M THINKING,

Why replicate an affordable product. Doesn't make sense.

The CLUB PRICES YOU GET FROM US on ORIGIN OR VERSION SELECT is INSANE.

So if y'all want these just hit us up.

Replicate the **** you can't get in the states to preserve relationships between these companies.

Did Ken even reply anywhere? If he knows it can be had in the states for cheap then he won't make replicas anyway.

NICE PICS!!


I had this link saved in my favorites, more proof that these fenders look much nicer when they are molded in versus just riveted on.

The only issue we came accross with these is that with riviting them on the way we did.. some of the paint settled into the rivits after driving it around a bit.. It only happened in a couple of places, but is faily noticeable.

I would strongly recomend doing the rivits with molding.. I can lift up on my car with these finders and it is very solid.

If anyone would like to see more pics of my car being built, just let me know.

I'm sure that they will respect that there is no need to copy a company that has it's products available in the US.

Shine's business model makes a great deal of sense to me because they copy products that the US customer can't get in any other way, short of knowing people in Japan. It makes sense that they copy those products, because the companies they copy are not making themselves known to the US market anyway, and are not selling to the US market.

I'm sure Ken is aware of this, and is not replying in this thread as a result.

My original plan was to get a set of these over fenders, and actually just cut them apart to get the flare section of the over fender and re-replicate it out of steel.

since you have first hand experence with these flares, do you think this feat is possible?

Your car looks really nice what colour is that? it looks like the Mitsubishi gto blue.
What size wheels tyres is that on your car with those fenders? those arches look big enough to need about 315 tyres to fill the arches.
