Hey guys, does anyone know where I could get the ASM fender right away?

Every vendor I asked said they are out of stock.

Thanks!

Sorry guys, I thought I had everything done, so I took the car to my bodyshop to test fit and make a mold of the ASM piece. It turns out the ASM flare fit like CRAP on the passenger side. When positioned correctly, there is 3/4" of stock fender sticking out underneath! It would look fine with the quarter panel trimmed, but I don't want to tadd to the wheel gap. I made a mold of it and have been messing with it, reshaping the wheel arch, but keeping the same arc, trying to get a perfect match to the other side. I can't believe that for over $400 this thing fits that poorly.

I have heard that their products are usually top notch. In this instance, it's very surprising as it's just a hunk of fiberglass- kind of hard to screw up. I also test fit it on 2 other S2000s at the shop, and it's the same story. It will be a pretty easy fix, just very time and materials consuming, as it pretty much comes down to trial and error. I hope the companies that are planning on making knockoffs go throught the trouble of correcting it.

I was so upset- brought my car to the bodyshop, grabbed the drill and loaded the bit.
Had my friend line it up, and FAIL. Very upset.

I stole this pic from Tommy GoTuning (let me know if you want it removed).

As I wrote on the pic, I think this will fit on the car, but the rear side of the flare will hang over the stock quarterpanel and finish on the bumper part. If I make a mold of the piece, and then build up the mold about a CM it may hang right. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
