Iam running 13x10s 4" BS.....Iam going to extend it 2" anyone ever do this.........any pics/tips/comments.....

 

I used to have pictures of an s2000 that was going full Amuse body and it showed detailed pictures, widening fenders with fiberglass I would imagine is the same. I'll see if I can find them, I think they may be on my dead laptop though...

 

That would help alot....thanks

 

I think Jose just did his if I'm not mistaken. It's a simple task if you know what you're doing, if you don't I'm sure it sucks the entire time lol

 

yea but i'm on the jojo... finally got the car painted i will be loading up pics soon.. Ryan is right, I had a friend of mine do it because I had no clue where to start... lol

 

saw the pics of what you did on your facebook its alot of work, ive been doin bodywork for about 7 years now and id want alot of money to extend all them parts.

yours looks sick though.

 

ask ramey built i think he did it to his track car as well **** it dope status!

 

ask ramey he did his..

 

yea it wasn't easy for sure... but i'm happy with the outcome....

 

We're working on few possibilities right now.

1. Bolt on fender extension to the existing front end.
* This is the least expensive to do and easiest to produce quickly since just making a piece to add on to the fender. The only downside in my opinion is that it wont keep that smooth look due to the add on look it will give.

2. New extended fender with add on piece to our front bumper
* To me this is most likely the best choice. We will have to make a whole new fender, but that better than doing a whole new bumper as well. But at the same time affordable as an add on to an existing kit.

3. Whole new fender and bumper setup for wider wheel/slicks.
* A whole new front end is least likely to happen unless a bunch of racers really want it. Of course this will be the most expensive to make since its pretty much a whole new thing almost from scratch.

I'm leaning towards option 2. The front end will still look good and only add a little bit to the cost of the front end. It'll be much cheaper than you guys doing custom jobs to extend it on your own.

Your inputs are welcome. I'm always listening and like to hear what people have to say. As of now, there's only been a couple people that have asked for the wider fenders so its not justifiable to do it for a small group of people. If more people voice out their interest in it, we'll gladly consider manufacturing that new product to meet your needs. We're always looking to find ways to make our products better.

 

Can I just buy a front bumper?
I really dont want the fenders.
Well now that I think about it, just having a bumper would prolly look weird.



Better yet, how bout a EG Stock style hood?

 

ya just the bumper wont be right unless you make your own fenders that will match the wider bumper.

 

Well just a thought that I pretty much answered my own ?

 

 

U have to extend everything not just the fenders it seems that every 9-10" wheel sticks out. The quality and styling of exospeeds fronts are amazing. But they do need to b wider at least 1 to 1-1/2 inches wider.

 

We can add a piece to the existing Bumper to match the extended fenders. You will be able to add that piece on and trim out the edge of the bumper to clear the tires also. It will still look good, the only thing that will look different is a small strip of that added piece on the bumper to match the extended fenders.

Remember that the front ends were designed keeping the limitations put by the old NHRA SFWD rules for front ends. So the widths were limited to I think 2-3" wider than stock. So thats why we didnt go 4-5" wider initially on the kits.

 

I think the extender would be the best idea for the bumper and fenders. If someone wanted to have it molded in it wouldnt be that much work or just leave it with the seam.
A whole new kit would be badass and im sure the big boys would pony up the money for a new one. There isnt any more NHRA to have to abide by, make it fit whatever the outlaw guys are needing.

 

You should make fenders for road racing cars, alot of people are running reversed staggered rims and NEED fenders.

275 or 255 tires are what people want.....


Expand your mind from drag racing

 

We already have the prototypes ready for that. We just haven't introduced them yet to the public. Its a different arch and look to the drag fenders.

 

I think option 2 is the best imo, unless like you said a lot of people want option 3....

I just want to see some pics of the CRX front with 26x10s

 

Not to mention those road race guys are a picky bunch haha

 

the arch on fenders for a road race fender is totally different for a drag slick fender. the Arch on a street wheel/road tire is much lower since theres no fitting 24-26" tall tires on them. They're more for the width of the wheel than the height of the tire. So the fenders are wider but they are still within the same arch line as the original.

 

Any pics of the "extensions".....are they fiberglass?

 

i like option 2 as well
