Quick questions about S13.4 conversion

[vutony]

Can anyone tell me who makes s13.4 conversion fenders. I found a few companies: AIT, Origin, VIS and HiFlex from race usa.

AIT (hardware included) and Origin fenders are 20mm wider then stock s13 fenders
Also, the lowest price I found for AIT is $290 picked up?

HiFlex and VIS are stock body size but does not include any hardware.

I want s13.4 conversion fenders for stock body fitment. What other companies are available?

AIT hardware kit, what/where does each bracket mount to?

i would just get the AIT hardware and get the HiFlex or VIS stock body sized ones. id think the hardware would be the same. if not, its probably close.

I'm running the AIT kit. Fitment is good. The brackets are used to mount the headlights and bumper, if necessary.

If you're nice I'll shoot pix later.

Do they sell the hardware separately?

g6civcx - that would be awesome if you can so i can get an idea of how to installed the lights and fenders.

I only like AIT conversion fenders cuz of the hardware they provide but my front will be 20mm wider and rear will be stock or maybe rolled/pulled

Teaser pix until I can get better ones.

The triangular bracket you bolt onto the hood latch and the bumper. The 2 big L brackets are for your headlights and bumper.

The 2 small L brackets are for support. If you look in my pix, the passenger side is bolted on and the driver side is not. If it's not bolted down the bumper won't sit flushed with the fender.

I'll get better pix.

It's really hard for them to make a kit that really fits because each S13 has different dimensions depending upon how beat up your car is. Even with the kit you will still have to drill your own holes to fit.

if possible, can you take pics of how each bracket is mounted

how come the bumper bulges out on the driver side
also the huge gaps with fender and hood
is it poor fitment on the hood

The driver side is not bolted down. If it is it would be flushed like the passenger side.

All the body panels need to be adjusted if you want to have perfect gaps.

Check it out because Tony is my homeboy.

You can see right here that the triangular piece is mounted to the hood latch and the bumper. The 2 big L brackets mount to the bumper and headlights. The other side of the headlights mount to the fenders, just like an S13 Silvia.

The other small stuff I couldn't take a pix of because they're hidden behind the fenders. They're really there just to brace the fender and make the bumper sit flushed.

My rad core is very straight. Other than some surface rust this car has never been in a front end collision. Still, the brackets don't quite line up. I'm going to have to move them a little bit and drill my own holes for more stability. That's why one bracket is over the rad core and one is under. The Bmagic brackets look like some guy just eyeballed them with a bender and then drilled random holes into them. You will have to massage the brackets to fit your specific car.

[vutony]

I got you homey.

Yea that's probably the best way. You see how the L brackets are supposed to bolt onto the lip of the rad core? Not even close.

Most likely I'm going to have to make my own brackets as well if I can't get these to line up.
