Do not hesitate to purchase Downforce fenders. They fit well, have OEM styling, and are reasonably priced IMO. I'm running 17x9.5 +38 with room to spare, just to give you an idea. I installed a CF Downforce lip on an Evo X and it fit like a glove with proper instructions and hardware too. Good luck..

No pictures of the car yet. I was just about ready to finish it up but I ended up getting a full kit and new hardtop. Hope to have it finished this year though, I'll keep you posted.

I left mine installed. They obviously don't come all the way out to meet the fender at the top of that arch, but they do about 90% of their job anyways.

So i'm at a crossroads from a recent accident to have the bodyshop fix my current fenders while also going for a fender pull or to just get downforce fenders.
My main worry is fiberglass. Back in my prelude days, my fiberglass bumper would last 2 years max before spiderwebs would start appearing in the paint at the mounts from all the rubbing on driveways and bottoming out. Also the fiberglass would pit from rock chips easily.
How has the downforce fenders held up for you guys that have had it long term? I know DF finish quality is good (i have their side diffuser) and the mounts are CF reinforced, which leaves me more comfortable, but the durability of fiberglass body panels in the long run doesn't sit well with me...
Thoughts?

my Downforce fenders don't fit at all. Two body shops... and counting... and they're not on the car. Either I got TWO horrible pairs (one carbon and one FRP) or people are nuts who say they fit well.
