Sure with 50 cars in 3 different classes all running the same race at the same time there is a potential for a lot of car-car contact but that's the exception. The drivers on the whole were very careful not to make stupid moves or mistakes.
huh? not an asumption. I saw video of another car that couldn't find the line if it was painted on the track and you yourself posted

The race today was a lot more aggressive, there was auto parts flying everywhere right from lap 1. Coming out of turn 5C I was behind 3 touring cars (one class lower, remember I started at the back) 3 wide through turn 6. They all came together like a sandwich and the middle car, a silver VW golf had his whole rear end flipped up into the air. Whan he came down he shot into the left wall and bounced back onto the track across my rear view mirror.

to within 15 ft of a BMW who had done the same thing much earlier in the race.
Not saying you're racing w/ nascar but you've posted and told me more than once you race with a wild bunch (as do I).

Thats all I have to say on this matter. Its your money. I even sent you link to guy in the bay area selling 2 red fenders asking $400/pr.

and here is the Seibon Honda S2000 | 10MM WIDER:


SEIBON CARBON FIBER FENDERS
Breaking the boundary between originality has become a habit with Seibon and their innovative products. As we look closer at the new Seibon Carbon Fiber Fenders, we notice that the research and development invested into the manufacturing of this product was more than just intensive. Through the exclusive curvatures and contours of each design, we can quickly see the many beneficial factors that go into its manufacturing process.

Haha not to mention the blurb about Seibon "breaking the boundary between originality" when almost all of their products are knock offs of more expensive original products and one of the pictures is even of a knock off ASM fender Don't wanna open that debate, just thought it was funny.

If one does value low price over quality as rlaifatt suggests though, they're probably a good option.

I'm not sure where cheap actually enters into the equation in terms of racing. I've done nothing but haemorrhage cash since the day decided to do it. I'm $30,000 in and that doesn't include the cost of the car and certainly doesn't cover the cost of fixing my front end. Tires alone are going to cost me $5K for this season, I'll burn through a $1200 set of RA-1s in 2 weekends at this rate.
