Hello all, i was looking at over fenders yesterday or the day before (cant remember) and i found some for the fc that were pretty cheap, and 20mm (or 30mm) overs i believe. they looked like these:
(slit in middle, IMO they remind me of time attack cars & the way they are styled, i believe the fenders i am talking about arent as aggressive as these...)






now i all i can find are the origin style ones with the vent in them, can anyone point me to the fenders i am talking about? thanks!

 

The one in your picture is custom. Tamon design makes that style fender for fcs.

 

you can see the vent under the masking tape in your picture

 

Pretty sure they're just the ones found here with the bottom half cut off:
http://mazdatrix.com/k86-88.htm

Might be the R-Magic fenders that look similar, but have no vent on the side.

Btw you can get that design that Mazdatrix sells from a number of places. I got mine on ebay.

 

tamon design has that style but its more subtle then the r magic fenders. its hard to find the r magic fenders these days. I think chaser aero sells knock offs of r magic but they have a different name. can't speak for fitment. rhdjapan has tamon stuff but its expensive. pics of tamone here and here

r magic here and here

you can get the r magic here http://www.aerokits.net/cart/index.p...oducts_id=5519
get tamon parts here http://www.rhdjapan.com/tamon-design...c3s-rx-7-59765

 

i know those fenders i posted are custom. just to help with visuals...
so mazda trix sells other styles? and ebay has them? can you post the ebay link? i thought i saw a set on ebay when i was looking for them a couple of days ago, went go to look for them yesterday on ebay. no luck

god damn! thanks so much for your help!!

soo sexy.

 

before i forget to ask.

see how the lower part of the fender and that skirt blend in? will that blend in with other skirts, or will i have to modify it to make it blend in? (im assuming they are r magic skirts, too bad i dont like them =/) Either way, if i have to blend them, it shouldnt be too bad.. i just wanted to know.

thanks again for your help d00dz


edit:
and can anyone verify that the ones on chaser's site are over fenders (if so, how much) and not regular fenders. i would like a 20mm or 30mm over.

 

almost all front wide fenders are the whole fender, not overs. overs are for the rears. fiberglass won't blend with OEM metal fenders anyway. so both I posted will completely replace the OEM fender. the white car is all r magic aero, fenders front/rear, skirts, bumpers. the fenders do go with the skirts and other skirts won't look right at all if you "blend" it with the fender as the r magic parts flare out quite a bit. you could maybe cut some of the lip off of the bottom of the fenders and then blend it into other skirts but idk, I'd get someone to photoshop it for you first. it will require a bit of fab work to make look right but its not impossible. I think the r magics might be 30mm wider iirc. I know they are at least 20mm.

heres the tec-arts FC running tamon design fenders and custom side skirts. I like these skirts better and they can be done easy with the r magic fenders as well.

 

I know they are not like widebody for the rear. i just call them overs because they are 20-30mm 'over' to the left or right (depending on which side of the car you are on ) I just usually say front or rear overs.. I know. Im weird.

Thank you again for your help. i still think i want to try these... dont get me wrong, i like the other style ones, but i'd like to go a little different look.. i wasnt planning on buying widebody for the rear, but im slowly changing my mind... lol

 

Raceonusa type 225 fenders are close to what you are showing, pretty well match the pic in your second post. might ck those out. Will send link next time i am on here and have a better internet connection.

 

overs usually refers to rear widebody fenders that go "over" the metal quarter panels. thats why I was confused. I think with that style of front fender, it would look weird without rear wide fenders as well but thats my opinion. not to mention that if you run only front widebody, the front will have a wider track then the rear which would make the rear a little more unstable at speed assuming you would have wheels flush with your fenders and not sunken in.

raceonusa closed down didn't they? yes the 225 they offered were r magic replicas but raceonusa has horrible fitment. I was looking into those fenders and talking to someone on here that got them from raceonusa. not worth it, I can fab my own FG fenders for the amount of work he put in fixing the fenders. they were very low quality, wavy surface and gaps all over the place. chaser aero isn't great fitment either but I suspect it will be better then raceonusa since they are more well known for other car brands. chaser aero is a little more expensive then raceonusa but only by around $100 for just the front fenders. I'd rather pay more for better fitting parts. you are going to spend $100 or more on the FG, sand paper/discs, etc to fix the raceonusa stuff anyway more then likely.lol.

 

I cannot vouch for this seller, but the point is these have existed at some point on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cbk-FRP-Mspo...12e33e&vxp=mtr

 

^ if you want that style, shine auto. they are on this forum. great quality stuff and good selection of all kinds of body parts.

 

i couldnt find any in their store. just the other more 'common' style
yep. i just like to call them the same thing, dont ask why. just something i picked up. lol

anyways, the more i thought about it, the more i realized that if i did front overs, it would make the car look weird and not proportional.. so im pretty sure im going to go widebody.. the only downside is i dont like the look of those rivets, so i will have to spend extra time and mold them in... faaaacckkkkk



oh, i meant the first style, i have seen these on ebay though...


thanks erryone!

 

do any of you guys have a link to a DIY how to mold a widebody kit? i searched and most of the stuff that came up was 240 forums and users bitching at each other in terms of how the correct process is.. but id like to just double check and make sure that im not missing a step..

ive worked with FG before and even made a FG mold or two out of tooling gel coat, so im not completely new to this. hell if i had the widebody in front of me, i would just go try now.

 

If you don't live/drive on really REALLY smooth roads, molding a kit is not for you. it will crack. just sayin, even if you do it right a bump will crack all your hard work.

Was looking through this thread and found these front fenders, post 457. you can use any side skirts and they still flare out but back in on the bottom. better? https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-non-technical-pictures-198/fc3s-jdm-wheels-picture-thread-781495/page19/

 

really? i dont think ive ever herd of that...


****, i really dont want to do rivets.. but i guess i have no choice... this car was/is pretty much going to be a toy/track car.. is there anyway that i can reinforce it better so i dont have to use rivets? (i just dont like rivets in general)
in the bolded, are you saying that the skirts he has on his car, extend up into the front fender?

if not, i have no idea what you just said. and do you know what kit he has?


thx again for your help

 

GLad and swy to hear that about raceonusa, saved me from making a costly mistake.

 

I meant that with the fenders on that black car ( I think they are commonly called "d1 style" front fenders), the fenders go back into the stock body lines around the skirt area. that means that you can use whichever side skirts you want with those fenders without modification. post 457 in that link, look at the bottom and you will know what I'm talking about.

and when I was talking about molding, I was referring to molding FG to your OEM metal. obviously FG will mold with FG just fine. and if you do molding right it can last a while but daily driving will crack it eventually especially if you are molding your bumpers. you can mold the front bumper and front fenders if they are both FG and be ok. the rear overs though, will crack eventually since you would have to mold them to metal. if done right professionally, it might last a year or so before it cracks but it depends on how smooth your roads are, how often you drive your car, and how careful you are. changing temperatures can cause cracks sometimes too as the expansion and retraction rates are different between steel and FG.

all that said, molding in your rear quarter overs has the most chance of lasting the longest but eventually it will crack and that means re doing the work and paint. you can shave the rivets a bit though and go over with bondo/FG/putty idk. I've seen it done so you can't see the rivets just the line where the FG part ends. I'm not sure how to do that myself though. probably pretty simple.

 

see the problem is i dont want that style fender. or d1 style or whatever its called... and im still kinda confused but whatever its okay. i dont want those fenders.

i think when i get me car (hopefully this weekend) im going to go with those chaser ones and some how mod them to work with some skirts.... thanks!


btw that car isnt black. its green

do you know what kit it has?

 

it is green, only the first pic loaded for me last time and looked black. I dare say its running a BN sports type 1 or 2 kit. can't really see the front of the front bumper but the skirts and and rear bumper have a lot of flare to them on the bottom so seems like BN. Justin Pawlak (formula d driver, started with an FC) has a shop called hotline that sells there knock off BN and GP sports that I hear have great fitment at really good prices. site seems to be down right now though, his user name is J.T.P., mod in the drift forum so you might pm him if you like that kit.
