Custom front fenders

speedjunkie · 07-15-2011, 01:10 AM

I got my front fenders back from the shop last week. He said he will do more of these if people want, just PM me for info. He has a shop where he rebuilds race cars and classics, and he does AMAZING work with metal. It's unreal.

I got them done with a lip like the rears. They are going to redo my rear lips too. I'm going to get these painted soon and I'll post up new pics of the whole car. I still have to lower the front some more too. I had them put the lips a little higher than where the stock fenders meet the tire because the front has been sitting a little higher than the rear since my rear fenders moved up as it pulled out. Not sure if that makes sense.

My buddy that was supposed to paint them misplaced his gun, so he did the body work and primer and I got them back today. I'm going to drop them somewhere to get sanded, painted and cleared and I'll put them on again.

Got my new fenders back from paint and put them on tonight. Again, these are stock fenders that have been modified with a lip to make them match the rears. They don't match perfectly, but at least they're close. My buddy Kingston is in a couple of these pics too. And of the course the last shot was just for him haha.

looks great! are those AME wheels?

Thanks guys! Yeah they are AME TM02.

If anyone is interested in these fenders, the guy that made them is looking to make more. Just PM me for more info. I'm not trying to make any money off this, he's just a good guy and REALLY good at what he does, and I figure some of you guys might want some like this and wanted to spread the word. Not sure if I'd need to become a vendor or not since I'm just a POC for these hahaha.

The pics were taken on my driveway, on a slant, so the driver's rear tire/fender gap is exaggerated, and the driver's fender isn't perfect where it meets the front bumper, you might be able to see it. That's because these fenders used to belong to my roommate and it got messed up at some point on his car. And now I'll have to wetsand the crappy paint on the rest of the car to match the good paint on these fenders haha. Also, I think I'll try at least a 5mm spacer on the front and see how it looks, maybe even put on the 8mm spacers I used to have on the rear.
