Default Seibon CF 10 mm wider fenders

I am in love with these fenders, not to mention I need them in order to help me lower my car due to my falling in love with a set of wheels which werent exactly s2000 friendly with their offset.

Ive found a bunch of places in the states selling them but the postage alone is going to set me back $400. would anybody know of anywhere closer that may stock these? and also has anybody had any experience with these fenders? Ive heard their a relatively good fit most of the time but its a big gamble when your spending that much on postage alone so Id love to hear other peoples experience with these fenders.

Thanks

If I were after these I'd be buying through the classifieds, this way the second hand price (down from new) should help you absorb the postage. This way you can question the seller about the fitment. Condition will be reflected in price, but generally part outs are well down on retail. I have no idea closer to Aust. though.

Ideally thats what ive been wanting to do, mainly for the fitment reason. But ive been trawling the clasifieds for a while now and havent been able to spot any yet.

FOr an extra 10mm I wouldn't bother with these guards, just roll your stock ones. Since stock is alu it's not as fragile as Fiberglass, as soon as it hits the fiberglass it's going to crack. What kind of size rims+tyres are you looking at running?

JDM Yard can get Seibon parts however it will prob end up costing you more..

I looked into having the guards rolled a while back but that still didnt quite make it. Plus i love the look of the side vents their so sleek. The wheels im running are 19" rs-gt 7.5 wide, +42 offset and the tyres are 235's. Thanks heaps for the advice man

You don't even need to roll the guard to fit that sized rim, however it's always best to roll incase you bend the guard out. As long as you don't go too low with the Seibon fenders you should be fine.

I'll take a few pics tommorow and show how far they stick out from the body. Another weird thing is the back left hand wheel sticks out about 5 mm wider than the wheel on the other side. At first i was worried it may have been rear ended and had some kind of damage causing this but i took it into a mechanics and put it up on the hoist and we couldnt find any trace of damage to cause the change of width. Has anybody heard of this happening on any other s's?
