Rear widebody with no holes for antenna and fuel door

I have a pair of AIT BMagic rear widebody fenders. Short of doing some custom fiberglass work, does anybody know any company that makes these widebody fenders without holes for the antenna or fuel door.


I am running a custom glass antenna and fuel cell so I don't need them holes. Still love them hos though

Thanks for any lead.

yup yup, all the ones I've done I just use about a 7"x7" mat on the back, some resin, and a little filler on the front (for patching the gas cap hole). The gas cap is the easiest, the vents in the front can get messed up if you're not smooth about it (one time I sanded completely through my mat, and had to redo... sucked).

Anyhow, there are some "generic" rivet on widebody panels I've gotten from Chris @ Modiride USA that don't have vents in the front or a hole in the back for the antenna, but they're not the greatest quality, and not complete fenders. They are cheap though... so if you really don't want to deal with filling in the front vents, you can rivet to your existing fenders.

Thanks for all the comments.

Let me clarify. I'm talking about the rear fenders. I'm mostly worried about leak and rust. I don't mind the vents in the front because they're harmless.

The antenna doesn't look too bad. It's about the size of my thumb.

For the fuel door, the fender will give me some trouble because I'm going to have to sand the back side smooth because they made a little lip to go around the stock fuel door.

grind down the backside of the door jamb on the fenders, then lace it up. I'd think the hardest part is gettin a similar surface/line.
