Getting them to fit really wasnt a problem as far as im concerned. The only thing we really had to worry about was actually flaring the metal on the fender enough so we could make double sure the tire wouldnt hit it anymore when turning. The fender was really chewing his tires up. And Corksport does an exceptional job on their fiberglass and frp material. both products i have purchased from them (RE type wing and S4 lip) have bolted up just fine. the other fiberglass ive experience was the Bmagic 20mm wide body fenders... garbage. they dont fit worth shit. but i think thats the difference between places that make fiberglass for such a wide variety of vehicles vs companies that are more specialized.
There are gonna be a couple places on these overfenders that will need some special attention and maybe a small amount of fiberglass matt and resin. but the rest should mold in fine with long strand kitty hair filler, rage, and icing. im going to be feathering the edges of them as well to make the transition to the fender smoother as well.
This is really my first "custom" job. Everything else ive done(including my own car) has been a complete paint job and just plain collision repair. so im sure will learn a little more doing this and just have one more thing to add a notch to my body work belt. I will also be painting this entire car for Haukbeeb, but for the time being we are primarily focused on the front end.
