50mm Over fenders...who's best?

I'll be ordering some 50mm overfenders for the rear and some 20mm for the front in the next week (95 s14).

So far the companies that make these are:

Charge Speed - Fiberglass - $323
D-Drug - FRP - $288
Origin Labs - FRP - $279
Version Select - FRP - $271
http://store.yahoo.com/ntnsracing/s1424si95.html

Anyone know who makes the best fenders? I'm way more concerned about quality and fitment over price.

Any of them are fine you whould be worried about who is going to put them on the car and the method you are going to use. Origin labs have the best looking OF I was going to do them on my 95 S14. But I decided to hammer them out.

...and it looks tacky any way you go about it unfortunately. I just hate how many of the overfenders do not cover up the whole factory panel, and the riveted look seems very cheesy. But you are probably doing this for wheel fitment etc. Although I've never had any experience with these fenders i am bias towards the chargespeed and d-drug because i know their aero fits exceptionally well. best of luck making your decision

That is why I canned the idea and hammered them out. Now I am playing with the idea of the Target Aero kit.




But Origin I would trust the most. Besides D-Max (Not D-Drug)

Hmm...hammering them out sounds tempting. Do you think you got a total of about 2 inches or 50mm of extra width in the rear?

Part of the issue here is I need there to be enough room for the tires to come up into the wheel well because I'll be running somewhat soft springs in the rear (drag setup).

Finished Minus paint they went out 48.5mm on both sides

I can fit a 12J Rim 17, 18 does not matter.

That was just hammering out stock fenders? I awlays thought you had a peice of metal or fiberglass put on. Looks real good, and saves $280.
