ur from michigan rite? well dont bondo them on. all the bumps and shiet from the roads here are gonna make them crack. and the ends do kinda flair out so ur gonna either have to shave it down or some how make it flow with ur bumper and fender. good luck on ur project.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

better yet, get a baseball bat, roll it up in a towel and roll ur fenders out. paint will crack so you'll need to repaint the area.

Yeah, I'm from MI. 26mile and North Avenue (or grospec, sp[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] ) I'm just looking for something to make my civic different from all the others.. it would be a first that I know of. If I did though, I would have them epoxied on or something along those lines and then use filler to smooth it out. Just an idea for now though. Later

If I did the whole fender roll thing, I doubt I will be able to get them even ya know. Then I'd just be all pissed off because I messed up my fenders

I think it would look pretty cool if you could do and make it look very professional

just make sure if your going to attach them, do it to the bare metal. if you try to attach it to the paint there going to eventually pull off. It just happend to this RX-7 that came into our shop, first deep freeze and crack!

Fat wheels? Nah... Get spacers! I have 17x7s and I'm afraid to turn my wheel the whole way (tires might rub on wells). I might get spacers because of that. I'm pretty sure 18x8s definitely rub. The wheels would look better sticking out 3cms or so.

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] The fenders look like they were made more for VWs or something. I don't think they'd look good on 7th gens, but then again I could be wrong. I'm going for them "z3" fenders this coming summer. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
