asm rear overfender question
#61
those are Arrows fenders from japan... they are 79800 Yens for all four piece... and 39900 for just the rear ...
that equal to about roughly $400 plus shipping plus custom.. total about $500 or less to get it in your door step.... they run a LOT more wider than J's rear fender... 45mm wider front and rear.... you would need to mold that in to look decent

Just an update. I've been a bit of a perfectionist on the flares I've been working on. Well I made a set partially by eye and the left and right came out to be a little bit different than each other. I threw them out and made a set by the following:
1.) Laying a layer of fiberglass on the car
2.) Taking that piece and cutting (6) 3/4" strips horizontally
3.) Taking that cut piece and placing that on 3/4" piece of board to trace the curve that will touch the body and using match calcs to draw up the outside curve.
4.) Stacked the 2 boards and cut the shapes out for each of the 6 (x2 for the other side)
5.) Took a radius tool to measure the vertical radius and shaped this to the wood blocks
6.) Added a layer of fiberglass to the car and glued the blocks at a measured frequency between vertical spacing.
7.) Filled the gaps in between the "skeleton" with body filler (bondo) and sanded down
8.) Repeated for the other side
Now I am waiting for more molding gel coat to arrive so I can make a new mold. Both sides are identical now!!! BTW I made a mold of the ASM flares and they came out to perfection. That half is a done deal.

um... they just updated the site.. and some how their new site don't have much information on their products...
the best source of information, would be the newest issue of HyperRev....
but honestly, I thought about the arrow as well... but after looking at it for a while... i can't stand how ugly it looks....
really looking foward to TrackStar's version though... cause I have been talking to body shop regarding finishing the ASM piece as well...but if TrackStar can start something with a mold... it would be a lot of easier then custom made from body shop...
I also remember a member called Panda did a custom extension as well... but I didn't really like how his turned out....

I am waiting for my shop to paint my car (this weekend) before I post real pics, but I owe you guys a "proof of life" on this. I will upload a camera phone pic if there is still light when I get home from the day job.

Can't wait to see it. How long do you think you'll be making these anyway? I ask because I was hoping to buy one right away, but just made a big purchase in another area and may have to wait a month or so.
