jspec fronts are replacement fenders
rears are pulled professionally by PJ (meaning lots of $$$)

mmm flares... yummy... or if your not dead set on the JDM ones and know a good body shop 70 - 73 240Z fenders match almost perfectly to the S14 shape. (little work around the ends) but as I said will require professional fitting :)

dousan, im not sure which ones youre talking about.. the only ones i've seen on jspec.com are the "flares" that you can bolt on (like on jdmrice's car). what are the ones that ruf sells (bolt on or fender replacements)? any pics?

the fronts are replacement fendesr
the aer 25mm wider
but that's ONLy at the well part
the front and rear of ti line up perfect w/ the car's body/bumper
so jsut the sides are pulled wider
it is fiberglass iirc, so you dont want some idiot to sit on your fender!

the rears are overlays
more body work required. youc an rivet it on (i will) or get it cleaned up and look SMOOOOOTH.

both definately require repaint
really sexy looking
pics? er...yeah

I used to think that the old-school Fairlady Z style bolt-on overfenders were the way to go (like Jun). Now that I've seen them on Richard's car, I just don't think they mesh well with the lines of the car. Don't get me wrong, Richard's car is AWESOME, but just not my style. I'm personally a blister fender guy now and it took Richard doing a badass job on the overfenders for me to realize it.

The JSpec S13 Silvia uses K-Style front blister fenders. These are the only front S13 Silvia fenders I can get that are NON-VENTED.

Here is a list of the fenders that I can get:

Front blister fenders:
K-Style - non-vented S13/RPS13 25mm
GP Sports - non-vented RPS13 20mm
D-Style/Wise/Tex/Abroad - single vent S13/RPS13/S14 25mm
Toyama/SuperStar - double vent S13/RPS13/S14 25mm

Rear blister fenders:
D-Style/Wise/Tex/Abroad - S13/RPS13/S14 50mm
Toyama/SuperStar - S13/RPS13/S14 55mm

There all 600 + right? That's a bummer.
Dousan I don't care what anyone says you 're the man. :eek: :cry:
I think I am going to try to mold on a set of toyota/nissan truck type flares. Some Junkyard Box type flares like of the old starlets and AE 86's. It would look basically like a obtuse triangle with the one angle longer fading , horizontial to the ground, to the back of the fender edge. And the other doing a 45 degree nose dive towards the front, as it fades in. Just an idea, I don't know. Have to get to the junkyard and get to it.

But those pics. I love those fenders, especially the fronts, to death. They absoulutely make these cars. It gives it just that extra bit of agression to it. But 600 to 1000??? Holy SH*t:hammer: I have been looking at those for a while, jspec and such but I think I' going to have to improvise. My front left is bashed up any way so I figure I'll go a little bit farther and try and come out with something really unique. I'll try and keep it real subtle, so don't worry guys, I will keep the rice out of there. Ha. My pops dropped his old *** millon pound Bimmer Bike on my shiznit. I don't blame him though. Bikes are a pain.

But hopefully, maybe, 15 to 25 mm over truck type ( Box ) flares. I'll definetly put out the flicks. Let everybody rip me apart. I need a front flare though.

By the way Dousan? What are the prices , generally or whatever. I'm interested. :aw::bash: :bash:
Or are you not allowed to say or do that. I don't know so please no one take offense. please. Thank you.

I know this is S13, and this question comes up alot. I don't think I've ever seen anyone on here talk about these fenders. These are the closest I have found to Skyline "like" fenders (I love those fenders).

I think these fenders might look decent with a different front bumper and spoiler.

:aw: those are some wide fenders that i have never ever seen before. i thought i'd seen em all.. those look great.. you can definitely see the wider panels and they resemble the r32s blister fenders. does anyone know who makes those? maybe they are r32 fenders welded onto an s13

look at the lp it says erebuni.

Those fendrs look pretty nice, I like the design, but the front does looks kinda ugly

FRpilot

erubuni!? :doh: are you kidding me? well, the bumper looks like a erubuni front. i doubt they sell those fenders.. and if they do they'll probably fit like ***.. they probably just use it as a picture like import fan does..

i was hoping a real company actually makes those fenders.

Yeah its Erebuni. It is suppose to be a "Ferrari-like" kit. The whole kit comes with the side skirts, front bumper and fenders, BUT it cost $2,500. I like those fenders, but that price makes them less appealing. Here's the link.

scroll down. its the second from the bottom. all the other kits are ugly.

I wonder if they sell just the fenders? I wouldn't mind having those if the price was decent.
