Fiberglass Fenders, possibly for sale. FEELER

[NovaSS]

I have an appointment next week with a fiberglass shop for miniguns fenders to get some estimates. The paln is to make the fenders without the wheel cut outs so people can match the size of the opening to the tires they want to run.

I am planning wheel well flairs for the festiva something like this.

I know this is a truck but you get the idea. As far as cost of a complete kit FMS sells front & rear bumpers for $325 each, side skirts for $250 a pair. So you are looking at $900 for their parts and still have the same clearance issues you had with the stock pieces. I would love to beat that price I will just have to see when I go talk to them in person and take them the bumper covers, fenders & hood.

Yeah I figure that would be a heck of alot easier than the whole fender.

[FestYboy]

it will be a whole fender, just with the extra lip for tire clearance.

That style of fender flare on a festiva is going to look out of place without a RWD offset rim....

Good luck with your fabrications I'm anxious to see the final product.

I was thinking about that all the way to work yesterday, and if you did nothing more than take the whole fender as it is on each side and sort of add a spacer to the fenders to expand them out as a whole to add maybe 4 inches to the width of the car without changing the look. Expand the width front & rear under the windows and at the top of the fenders to make the widebody look and connect the widened parts with a trim piece under the door... I'll make a drawing asap. I have a few more ideas too, just gimme some time.

Yea what else can he do

Actually replacing the fender would be easier. You wouldn't have to spend alot of time blending in the flairs just prep, paint & install. You could take the new fenders to a body shop and have them color matched to your car without any down time on your car.

Well, this isn't what I had in mind, but it's close. Honestly, that kit in particular looks poorly assembled and a little too busy, but the bridge between the fender flares is more like it. Instead of overexaggerating the stock flares, just pull the whole body minus the doors out 2 inches...Like THIS.

I'd say use stock fender size, then next size up fit directly around the outside of that one, and go for broke with one size larger than that... By that time you're accomidating 17" rims.

I would just like some nice wide front and rear fender flares like others said that are made for the festiva, maybe so they would make the wheel arches look symmetrical too. That way I can cut out the back of the fenders and slam the car :-)

[DriverOne]

Yeah, I don't know why they insisted on squaring off the wheel wells. Looks more like a truck almost than a car... I was gonna mention this, but they even arched the wells!

[DriverOne]

This kit would look sweet too.

[mattman]

nova ss what kinda price did you get for a wide flare kit like miniguns

[getnpsi]

front clip with hinges so we could all pull off this v6 swap thing.
