looking to buy wide front fenders...have some questions

[Veleno]

I'm looking to buy some wide front fenders and have seen the ones on cybernations website, but was wondering if there are any others out there and for how much?

If you have wide front fenders on your car, can you comment on looks, fit and finish, and overall quality of the product? I'd like to get an idea of what I'm getting into before I get into it.

Also, since I have Technos, how will they fit in the wheel wells since the fenders will be wider? Do I need to get new wheels?

Are there any "problems" with these wide front fenders during installation? Is it as easy as unbolting the old,bolting the new pieces on?

Does anyone have(or know of) pictures of a car with just the front wide fenders without adding the wide rears? Do you think it'll look odd with just the front wide fenders?

I may get wide rears some day, and hopefully it'll be different from the one available now.

Thanks for any help given.

I thought the whole idea behind the wide fenders was to allow wider wheels and tires - in other words, there's MORE room there, not less, and there shouldn't be any need to switch wheels unless you want to (which is why some people do so).

I'm sure no one does it for looks...

There are two on the market now, the Marga Hills and Advance Flat-Out wide fenders. The Advance Flat-Out's fitment is so poor that we decided to remove it from our website. While composite panels will usually require some fitting and finishing, the Advance fenders are so off in fitment that they even require some modification to fit right.

I prefer the Marga Hills fenders. They are nice in a subtle way:

They also fit fairly well. There will also be a couple new products out toward the end of the summer.

I agree, other than the Comptech rears, the "Starion" looking ones are gross.

Chris,

Of the new products coming out, will there be body kit pieces(wide f/r fenders, bumper repl., skirts, wings, etc.)?

I'm willing to wait if a new kit is coming out.

So lets say I get the Marga Hills fenders, what else should be changed when doing the wide front fenders? Do I need to change my side skirts(I have WW)? How about the front bumper(I have OEM)?


Ken,
I'm asking about the wheels because if the fender gets wider, so does the space from the sidewalls to the fender edge/lip(similar to the gap on a stock '92). Maybe I should have worded it to say will the offset of the Technos work with the wide fenders, or do I need a different offset? I don't want a huge gap where the wheels look tucked way inside.(based on other pictures I'm assuming it'll work, just want to get some clarification)
