Front Fenders, stock or origin?

[Frosty_spl]

I bought my car with a smallish dent in the front of the drivers side fender. Once I put my coilovers on, i noticed its pushed out about 20mm in the center in comparison to the passenger side. That side is almost flush with the wheel, while the drivers side is hella sunk.

Would it look ok If i bought front overfenders and NOT have rears? If im gonna buy some body parts, I would rather go aftermarket. I figure one stock fender will cost as much as a pair of overs.

I have a kouki s14 and Im looking at the origin ones.

I may have to get spacers for the front, but will it look funny?

it would like fine if you only got the front over fenders but im not so sure that 1 used oem fender would be as much as origin..

All the way or don't bother.

get stock used. cheap. just gotta know people.

front overfenders without rears looks fucking stupid.

if you do both you better have baller wheels. or 30 mil spacers haha

nah front overs are fine w/ stock quarters

you just have to have a nice pull and good fitment

fiberglass front fenders for S14 tend to fit like dog shit though so be careful as to what you purchase...Origin is OK...B-Magic fenders fit like shit

My work xt7 18x9.5 +12 should be coming in next week.

So I shouldn't have a problem with fitment.:2f2f:

18x9.5, wouldnt you need overfenders for the fronts anyways?
Then the choice is obvious! :D

go overfenders all all four corners! :)

stock fenders are better. roll and pull.

and 18x9.5+12 is cake on s14... no need for overfenders.

[Frosty_spl]

can you even roll the fronts, or do you cut slots and hammer the metal flat?

[projectRDM]

Roll/pull, just need to be gentle. You can get a good 15mm out of them easily.

^^^ bushido is right you dont need them stock will do with a roll i am running 18x9 +8 with stock metal, depends also on what tires you are running.

[McRussellPants]

get overfenders.

stock S14 front fenders look dorky with 18s.

furthermore rear overfenders on S14s look dorky.

so you get the best of both by only getting fronts.

^^ im with him - roll backs get fronts.

[fliprayzin240sx]

If you decide stock...DO NOT CUT SLOTS ON THE LIP AND PULL IT!!! All you will do is weaken the metal and itll crease at every slot.

Dont ask me how know please...........

[Ian]

yeah, you should never cut slots

All the way or don't bother.

if i wanted to just roll the back quarter i should not cut slits i was going to go hammer metod i thought slots would make it easier........

[Frosty_spl]

My friend took a baseball bat to my rears. One side came out nice, the drivers side (that had been bondoed before) came out kinda wavy when it wouldnt roll all the way in one pass, and he had to keep going back.

That settles it, I will get the origins.:w00t:
