element899 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm actually thinking about buying some wrx wide fenders, cutting them, and welding the flare onto another set of legacy fenders I have. May be a bit of work, but want to see what it would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a bit of work, but want to see what it would look like. I was thinking the same thing, however, a cardboard mockup was sort of goofy. I think that's pretty close to the manta-ray solution, so its workable. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Gator Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Here's what I want, 2016 Subaru Levorg BTCC race fenders: http://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/subaru-720x400.jpeg Obviously a mock up but real pics should be available in a couple of months. Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine. "Good Judgement comes from Experience.

danstouring Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Those that you posted on the white car appear very Audi-esk to me. I personally want something like this. But I also know these are going to be very difficult and are not a "Bolt on and cut" application. That was a ton of work!!! I just went back through his blog to see what they used. They chopped the factory body work, extended it out and reformed and filled it. DAMN. Hot as all get out, but that is certainly not a cheap fender upgrade. Would be awesome to do though...Hmmmmm, oh lotto machine...give me some winning numbers please . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, that might be easier to do. take off front fenders, cut rears for clearance, then attach extension panels and let the ends be squared off.

boxkita Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Id give a kidney for that body. Well I got schooled. looks like you could get one for a kidney, maybe two. :eek:2013 price for a kidney is $262k. Should be able to visit any reputable racecar shop and walk out with an exact copy for ~100k. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 How will the wheels bearings react to those extra two inches? 2 pages in, and you already lost the thread? After cutting the body and other mods, you're worried about something that goes bad without any help? You want big, you have to live with some pains.
