Pretty sure there bolted on from what I've seen just from removing my front clip and headlights. Most body panels are. I do think there rear panel is bolted and welded on.

So,as we promised and the wait is over... IMO those fenders look hot but its waaaaay hotter in person.



Coming from a 350z background, one of the sexiest ever bodykit produced was the Amuse superleggera bodykit, sooo bad when it was out my project was almost finished in terms of exterior so i didnt go for it ... so once docaam approached me for fenders, nothing else came into my mind but those...

After removing the OEM fenders, we noticed how complex is the OEM hangers under the headlights. and since the fitment and strength was main concern, we decided not to go for a full Fiberglass version since making those hangers will be risky, instead we decided to render the OEM version with the design we wanted. and we believe that this is the right choice:

1- The OEM fenders will never have fitment issues.
2- The OEM fenders are already light weight out of the box.
3- NO need for more aggressive offset to make the wheels flushy since its already OEM fitment.
4- There wont be an issue of durability since all the fitment which goes on the body is OEM metal part, rest fiberglass, keeping the overall weight almost the same as OEM fenders.


We are currently working out the cost to announce the final pricing and offer schemes, as start we are looking for a minimum of 5 sets confirmed with deposit which will cover the cost of the production and then it will be available for everyone.

The first 5 sets will be on a very special pricing

1)
2)
3)
4)

Please PM me pricing for 1 of first 5. Very interested.

If I am understanding correctly, these are fiberglass vents that we cut and mold into our stock fenders, correct?

Thanks,
Charles

fyi...if you leave the fender well covers in there, the vent has absolutely 0 aerodynamic effect...it will only alleviate pressure if its directly open to the tire.
