We're talking about only a $100 difference between whats out in the market and what we plan to offer. $50 per side. That's not too much to ask is it? :/

I'm sure people would be willing to pay extra for a "ventless" true 25 or 30mm wider fender.Especially one with a good fit,which alone will more then offset the extra price if you have to pay a body shop to fit or spend hours doing it yourself.

You're right. Since I'm a "stupid drifter" I must not know anything about cars. In fact, i will have my driver's licence soon, but only after I turn 16, which is in 2 years. I will be saving these fenders for when i get my RX7, which hopefully I can get while still in HS. ^_^
Get out of here with that ****. If you want the fenders, put your name on the list. If you want to wait till everyone has them and you don't have to take any risks for fitting your monster truck tyres under some wide fenders then don't put your name on the list. If you can fit your wheels as they are on stock body right now, then obviously the 30mm wider fenders will accomodate them!

You flamed first, expect something in return.
$375 sounds fair but I'd like an official statement if they will be 30mm or not.

7. $100T2, provided the rears will be made as well. If the matching rears won't be made, I'm not down.

But rears like Orign, v:S, ________ fill in the blank offer almost identical looking Rear fenders, all which look just like the Foresight ones.
The FRONT fenders are what is unique in this case, as none offered in the US are ventless.

Actually there already is a clean ventless fender made in the US:
Its a 33mm flare and my friend has a 25 or 300mm spacer behind those vert wheels. These cost $500 for a pair though. We actually brought them to shineauto last year when we picked up our front bumpers.
