C32 Fender Flares

Has anyone reworked their front fenders to accomodate larger wheels/tires beyond 8.5"/235's or widen the track? A search on the subject comes up with very little. I am more interested in modifying the existing sheet metal or adding "extensions" than replacing the entire assembly with a fiberglass unit like the DTM kit or Salvedori's "vented" panel. Could those that have done any fender work post their pics within this thread. Thanks

Who did the work? In Los Angeles? How did they add the flare? Can the same flare be used on the front and "molded" to fit? Can someone post the other pics in this thread of the fender replacements I spoke of?

most of the widebody are custom made... there are no "replacement" for a bigger fender. they basically cut up ur existing fender, and add metal to it to make it wider. www.M1autobody.com did my fender flares and along with alot of the show cars in the scene. they do good work, but they do charge alot. so... if you are interested, let me know.. i can probably help you out abit. =)

8-10k I'll rather do something else with that money. BUT that fender is tempting.
