Let me guess:

You have to "tub" them in order to fit the slick at full range of motion?

If that is it, we did the same on one of our BMW race-cars. Tough, but neat work when done.

otoupalik is spot on... I moved up the fenders to get the car lower... so I need the change the wheelarches on the inside to match the outside...

I'm still interested.......did you check into it?
Any guess about shipping/customs duties costs to the U.S.?
Thanks, Greg.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to have one made here in the US? There's a body shop in the san fernando valley that can cover your roof with CF but it's just an overlay.
