contact ben, I forget his exact username, he was making some of his own kits, with more agressive spacing.

I think it is calie320.

Yeah, I had the other part# consisting of the B6 but I didn't know if you wanted that one. I had to special order my spring travel limiter for my car too.

Anyways, Yeah contact Ben for the fender spacer kit he made. I have a set but I haven't installed them yet.

the plans for the car sounds good. Can't wait to see the finish product bro.

PM me and I'll let you know. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be using them since I'm going to be running a smaller side wall soon in the front.

I think it's just another way of saying fender flares.

I wouldn't say fender flares to be exact, the spacers space out the bottom portion of the fenders where it becomes flush with the front bumper and the side panel to prevent rubbing.

Fender Spacers - were made to push out the front fenders to make room for wider and larger rim/tire combinations.

My kits are better then AMG

1) Cheaper !! $20 - 35 depending on the kit that you want AMG if you can find them range from $50 on up.

2) Mine are adjustable up to 3 different sizes 1/4 " - 1", AMG you're stuck at the one 3/4 " length they give you.

3) Better quality. AMG's are hard old school rubber which in time with age/weather will dry out and turn brittle. Mine are Poly liquid

4) AMG uses standard body panel bolts. My kits use aircraft grade stainless steel bolts.

suggestions? You can shave the antenna and flare out the fenders now to accomodate bigger wheels.

chris,
what do you mean how come? it was cheap... $1000 + $130 handling.
whatever it is, as long it's gonna look different from how it looks now.
BTW, soldier. i really like your idea w/antenna, i was thinking about it too but i changed my mind. as to the fenders....i already got them where i want them. they've been rolled, hammered and whatever i needed to make them look good for the wheels i have. hope everything is gonna look good after all.

Check out all of my pictures:

Jack,

The replica GENII kit looks good! How's the material and etc and where did you order it?

Your car is definitely going to look like this in no time and I hate you for it. lol
