$20 isn't so bad if MSRP is $15 and has to be bought and shipped from Japan. At least he's not asking $45 or something like that.
But if it goes to $45 I'll sell mine, too!

Re: Official FEEL'S parts thread. Honda twincam!
same goes for that lip. theyll get you one, but its made to order.
everything for the EK is hard to get, the japanese honda market is almost 100% FD2. the japanese move on quickly.
im going to put the full-court press on them for just the fenders and mod them for stock sideskirts and bumper, but like everything else in japan if its not on the "menu", and you try to "order" it, you will make a japanese persons head explode. i.e. 'oh my god you want TWOOO peices of cheese on your big mac!!????" (head goes kaboom)

Hearsay isn't as good as knowing. It's also a poor basis for an opinion.

You can always start your own thread...
Call it the "Official OBX and other mass produced, reasonably priced parts thread for haters who bitch about the cost of precision-made, hard to find, collector parts"

Damn, I'd really like to see those fenders used with stock bumper and rockers. They're by far my favourite part of the kit.
My first of many FEEL's parts should be coming in in the next few weeks

Re: Official FEEL'S parts thread. Honda twincam!
personally i dont give a **** what the fenders look like, i just want 245s on the front of my car and fenders that will get over them. but like i said before, by the time i get those twinks to sell me the damn thing, and pay 400 dollars for them, i could just get bug-eye STI fenders, cut them, and weld that to a civic fender and be done with it and spend a quarter of what i did on the feel's ones. the problem is that the arch probably will not match so the fender arch and bumper arch would look like bigfoot's dick.
then there is the possibility that after all that, i will still spin into 6th gear combined with the fact that i am just getting sick and tired of the car anyway. im close to just selling everything and putting another skyline together. the limitation of these things is that they just cant really handle the tire width you need to make real power and haul *** around curves. besides, one can just put wheels/tires, boost controller and injectors on a 6,000 dollar R32 GTR and run 11s and cut 1:02s at tsukuba. but alas, civics are fun.

Spoon ran 235's under stock (but pulled) EK fenders.
It was pretty damn low, too:
So you might not need to go wide body to fit 245's. Perhaps a higher offset or higher ride height will offer more clearance.

I think youd be able to fit 245's up front with stock fenders. Just pull and flare and run the proper camber you should be running at the track anyway (about -3*) I bet they will clear

Re: Official FEEL'S parts thread. Honda twincam!
nah, they wont, ive tried already. and the spoon car rubbed real bad. it has some flares now, and i think they are off a toyota crossover vehicle, cant remember the name right now.
he sold that car to a 30ish yr old japanese guy and he drives it to all the meets out here.
he is trying like hell to sell the orange type one dc5 taikyu car, 20k usd. not a bad price.
that spoon car actually ran a half second faster at tsukuba with the B18C ITR motor in it too.
i have 225s on my car now with pulled, and i mean pulled fenders but the wheels are +33. im going to look for something like the +50 17in MF10s for the front and put something wide on em.
