From Germany With Love: HMS Content Inside!

It has taken about 2 months and a lot of begging to get these into the US. But, they're finally here! I was able to work with one of the guys from HMS and Endless Autosport here in Milwaukee to get them imported. I still need to order the wheels and suspension setup, so it'll take some time before I get these installed.





Mmmmm, some hips...




Very well packaged!




All done in just 4 easy steps!




Very impressed with the construction of these pieces.

Yes, he's a good friend of mine. We're actually heading to the Brewer's game tonight. He's been helping me with all aspects of the build.

It doesn't look like it. Each piece is individually formed and then bonded together. I asked multiple people and got the same response. Fortunately, I asked them all at the same time and I got one response back saying they would ship to me. I got a no via e-mail, calling their US distributor, e-mailing their US distributor and e-mailing them. I got a yes when I messaged them via Facebook and I pursued that route. I will PM you the contact @ HMS that I used. You will need a local shop they can mail it to in order for you to receive the shipment.

Yikes! Maybe he wasn't supposed to sell them? Hope I didn't get him in trouble.


Here's a test fit, it extends the rear fenders by 2".

Hmmmmm... would love to get a 3D scan, or high-res photos with dimensions.....

Seems like any decent bodyshop could make those, no?

If I stay in the car long-term, fender widening is on the shortlist. Good luck!

I guess it depends on what your end goal is. I'm currently going thru the 3D scanning process on another c63 related project and I'm pretty sure it would be cost prohibitive to scan these in.


Conversely, for a body shop to create fiberglass molds for a one-off it would get to be about the same if not more for them than just fabricating out of metal. Although there are only 6 pieces, it looks to be comprised of 14 molds.


However, if you plan on duplicating to sell in the US then you'd be good to go. Having talked to my HMS contact last night, it looks like they may be having a change of heart when it comes to shipping these to the States. So all of that effort may not even be worth it.

Yes, I spoke to a few guys that do body work and they said they're both very similar especially the way these are constructed. Considering that I'm painting these, I opted for the fiberglass.

+25 is what HMS uses with a 285 rear.

Did you order them?!?! NICE!!!


You going with 19x10? I think you can run up to an 11" wide wheel.

You can utilize the OEM BS fender liner with these HMS rear fender kits.
