the oem s15 fenders will not fit you have to cut them and then cut your s14 fenders and put them together due to the door aligment, if you do get fiberglass fenders a work to the wise do not buy GTP, they suck i have them, there terrible

Exactly, fiberglass IMO sux nutts. They wont line up cause of the door. if you are plannign on spending lots of $ on the project then get the S15 fenders and cut and weld them onto the s14 fenders like others have done. It will obviously require someone pretty skilled, but it has definetly been done before.

Just use the Masa conversion fenders. Less of a pain to fit than metal ones.

Thanks Guy for helping out.....Does anyone have any idea how much would it be for custom work to fit a metal fender? OR If i want to go with fiberglass fenders, which fenders are the best fitment out there? I called and asked about the fiberglass fenders, most of them said it will has a little gap about 1/4 inch between door window and front window.

if you buy the right fenders, they won't fit improperly.
West Yokohama and Masa are the best. Sam at www.jspec.com can get both. Just don't waste his time with 'what should i do' questions. When you're ready to order, drop him and email and let him know what you want. He usually gets things like that pretty quickly.
