Default Aftermarket Fender ID

I can't seem to ID these fenders. They're the closest looking to ASM, but aren't.

TIA!

What ever they are, they look nice. What are they made of?

Fiberglass. Thinking of picking them up. Owner is Japanese and brought them in from Japan, but he also doesn't know what they are, lol.

Not mastergrade. The hole isn't as big for the duct, and the mastergrade fender has 2 holes, this one just has one.

super interesting finding upon some research and a friend helping out.
while the fender's brand still isn't quite confirmed, it looks like there is quite a bit of history behind them. JDMers will love this story.

my friend managed to find a japanese magazine article, featuring a Mugen based car tuned by cockpit urawa.
http://www.cockpit.co.jp/car_life/de...ist/s2000.html

this particular car is no longer featured on the website it seems, but here are some shitty mobile phone pics of the magazine article.


the car was a fully "gt-spec" built track car, with parts such as a rollcage, alex sport header, phase radiator, etc. on it. interesting to note that my friend purchased some of those parts. also, in the article, a mugen sticker is on the fenders....could it be some sort of mugen prototype wide fender? hmmmm! and finally as a note, there's a high probability that the parts are indeed from the car in the magazine - the front bumper, rear bumper and seat are also for sale.




i'm almost tempted to get them for novelty more than anything, but I do need wider fenders (and new fenders) since mine are busted up from track day!

and the offer is still open to anyone who can actually ID these 100%!

I knew I've saw these fenders somewhere. Are they any wider than OEM?

very close, but not the same. The fenders in question have more of a flare around the vent than what is shown on this auction.
