RaceOn absolutely blows in product quality and customer service. Try and stay away from them. I spent 3 months with them asshats about taking back there bogus products had to call my attorney.

Yea get rid of the rivets it looks gay on a whole quarter more like you didn’t know what you were doing so you drilled holes.

I had no problems with them what so ever. They even called me with the tracking number, item came pretty quickly. Sure the quality was "perfect", but this isnt a show car, its meant for business

rivets rock. bondo just adds weight, and makes it harder to replace broken stuff. only ricers bondo stuff together....

and when its all painted, you don't notice the rivets as much anyway...


mind if I ask what offset the wheels are? I'm assuming its 17x10 with a 255 tire?

but I really like the fenders... I was thinking about getting the 20mm ones they have.

offset is +18 for the rear, I think im going to run a 5mm spacer just to push it out just a bit. I think it fits great now, but I think alittle more, might fit just a tad better. And thanks for the supprt of the rivets. Everyone always likes to bondo ****. Most professional race cars dont bondo; rivets paint, and vinyl make the rivets almost invisible. Remember its not painted yet. http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/fuurin/pic/time_tani_2.jpg guess what he uses to hold those wide fenders on

I don't like it at all, and the rivets look too industrious for me. That being said it's your car, and if you like it then that's all that matters. Good luck with the project.

+13462654827 for rivets. race car style for sure. I'll definitely be riveting my wide fenders on. why the hell would you want to waste your time grinding it down and blending it and fiberglassing it?

Looks cool. I'd agree with leave the rivets if this car is used for competative driving, otherwise I'd be inclined to blend them.
