I am currently looking at rear options for my sedan but I agree with others the HMS shape doesn't look right which I think is at the bottom of both ends.
I will be going for metal on mine and the shape on the rears I will be telling them to copy as per the below kit (Yes I know that one isn't metal) They have fitted a 12" rear with 305 tyre which is what I want.
Also does anyone know what is the widest width, et and tyre size you can fit on a sedan on coilovers without rubbing? I have seen people with 10.5" but others have told me 10" is max on standard fenders

If your going full custom, make make sure to tell the shop to pay close attention to the wheel opening. The Moshamer wheel opening looks god awful. It's got high spots and low spots in a few spaces. Go to their website and take a look at the side profile. If you've got a keen eye for this sort of thing, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Good luck.

The Moshammer rear fender set is a mold-in kit only. Part of the savings comes from the total labor costs involved to install them. The front fender set is a direct front fender replacement as it reshapes the general body/fender line to match with the rear shape so it gives it more of a uniform look overall.
The overall finishing on the fenders are not as generous and thick as the HMS fenders. They are constructed from a thinner FRP to aid in better fitment as the tolerance for the front and rear doors is very tight. So this is more of a "track/show car" option.
Thanks! I'm very happy with their work. Can't wait to see it with the wheels.
Now looking for tires, not many options on performance tires for 20 x 11 wheels.

Amazing! Love how they modified the side skirt piece to fit your carbon extensions!

I wimped out a bit and went with Pirelli PZero Nero GT in 295/25/20. I was not sure what would fit without rubbing and no chance to test fit locally. The Pirelli run a little bit narrow as well I think. My rear wheel is 20x11 ET +14 and should be pretty flush. Once I see how they fit I will go with a 305 If I can fit it.
That notch for the Revozports sideskirt is amazing.
I love the fact that is flattens the "bump" in that section. I will share your progress with HMS-Tuning DE as they are always inspired by new techniques with their kits. Looking forward to the rest. Thanks for sharing!

SAME! If I ever need body shop work again, I'm definitely going to have them shave the bump down. It's the only thing I don't like about this kit. Plus, ground clearance becomes ever more of a b*tch.
Mario, could you do me a favor and post pics of how high the body shop cut the existing fenders? I'd like to see to compare to mine.

Thanks in advance!
Plan on doing the same.
I figure, you just measure (Judging by the photo about an 1~1/2" ), slice and "repaste" it with fiberglass and body filler to smooth out the imperfections.

Hopefully Mario can give us some better insight.
Exactly. I just want it to be level with the rest of the side skirt. Maybe a slight dip would be alright. But right now, it just looks a little "aftermarket" to me which is not the look I was going for at all.
Just being picky as I'm sure most would gloss over this when looking at the car for the first time.
