I love those front fenders imo they keep the stock lines of the FD but make it look more aggressive...I'm also digging your rear fender pull also goes well with the look...it reminds me of the c6z06 as far as purposely built wide body aggressiveness...whenever I finish performance upgrades and start concentrating on looks on my FD, I'm thinking about doing something on the lines of this. Also are those fenders actually available for sale on shine's website?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if they're on his website, these were the very first set he sent out so I never looked on there. You can PM him here and he'll probably make you some, or he might have a set already made, but he goes missing for a while most times so you might not hear back from him in a timely manner lol.

His best option is to call him at the shop, Ken goes MIA for months here and i wouldnt be surprised that his inbox is full. He does have them on the webpage, i think they run around 430+ taxes and H&S

Any of you with aggressive wheel setups run in to rubbing issues in front. More towards the head light bucket area? I'm running an 18x10.5+13 with a 265/35 and at full lock it barely rubs. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just had the car aligned and everything was in spec.

What did you do to get around this? Or did you just live with it?

I sold them and got a less aggressive setup LOL. Well, when I say less aggressive I mean going with a 9.5 instead of 10, but my offsets went from +38 to +22. It might help going with a more aggressive offset, but I can't confirm that. Maybe if you did a 255/35 it would help. Not sure.

Damn speedjunkie, your FD is amazing. I wish i knew someone that can do my fenders like that, or guide me so i can do that.

Your FD reminds me of a stock C6 z06, almost same wheels too lol. You have the japanese C6Z

Thanks man! I have current pics of it in the picture thread. The front fenders are the same as the rear now, if you haven't seen it already.

Funny you mention the Vette. Originally I was going to get the rears redone to be more bubbled like the Shine fenders, but after looking more at Z06s and seeing mine photoshopped with the lips on the front, I knew I had to have lips on the front too lol.

Are you just wanting to do the rear fenders? We did it with an Eastwood fender roller. It just took several hours and lots of patience lol. Are you going to DGRR? I'll be there.

Check the front frame rail I would bet that's where you are rubbing. You will probably see a spot where the paint has rubbed off. I'm running 18x10 +18 with a 255/35 and at full lock I rub there.
