Wide fender question

[mixxamike]

I'm looking at 50mm rear fenders and 30mm front fenders for my '96 s14. I'm cool with the size and look of the pop rivited rear fender but I'm not so crazy about the front fenders on the market right now. So far I have seen the Vertex (version select) and Msport front fenders, but I just dont like the look of the vent just aft of the the wheel well. Are there any fenders out there that more closely resemble the stock look? Wider is also better if thats a possibility.

I believe works9 makes non-vented 25mm wide fronts.

If you can't find any rnon vented fenders, which might be the case, you can always fiberglass the vent up and make it smooth. It really isn't very hard to do, but then again I work at a body kit factory where we do this everyday. It should only take few hours including drying and sanding but very possible to do.

Thats what I was thinking about doing with a set of S13.5 origin fenders, to replace my crappy Jspec Fenders, but I am probably going to be lazy and leave the vent

Or you can pay a body shop to do it.

Bobby Boy you work in a body kit FACTORY?

[BobbyBoy]

I work at a facility where we R&D, manufacture, market, and sell body kits all in house in the USA. I do Graphic Design and marketing, and technically don't work on the production line, but I can smell the fiberglass and resin from where I sit right now.

We develop and make whatever parts the community needs, but when it comes time to put the prototypes into production for replication, there is never anyone who wants to step up, so we have to flush our R&D costs down the toilet.

GP Sports also makes non vented over fenders. I dont have a link, sorry, but I have seen pics. IMHO they do not look good... too bulky. The vent allows it to flow back in with the lines of the doors smoothly

NT03+Ms are too cool for zilvia.

Those 8.5 fronts need to hit the road for a pair with spoke angle.

I'm in the market for non-vented wide front fenders as well...

Anyone have any US websites that sell them?

I'd like a pair but can't read/order Japanese....

He said he can't ship fenders...boo :(

[ByeByeSti]

best bet is to just buy some here, and take them to a auto body shop to fiberglass the vent in if your worried about doing it. or find a company in japan thats willing to ship. such as one of these above.

but goodluck !
