wide body quarter panel help...

Hey guys...so i have some damage in my quarter panel that i cant afford to fix and i was thinking that maybe i can just throw the smallest wide body quarter panels i can find. So my question is, Whats the smallest ones i can find? Where can i find them? and How are these applied?, do you just throw them one and screw them?


im looking for something like this

I think Vertex makes a 20mm rear wide fender...If not you can always take a 30mm fender and push it in more on the fender to make it 20mm-25mm.

don't buy a wide rear fender to fix body damage

if you can't afford to fix a quarter panel you probably can't afford the shit it'll take to do a decent job with wide fenders

save up

Lots of guys put on the wide fenders to cover up wavy quarterpanels. If it's dented, get your friend to help you pull it out as close to OEM as you can, and just throw on some 20 or 30mm overfenders over it and push in on the top of the wheel arch to get them as close to 0 as you can. Theres at least 10mm of flex either way if you've got one person to push and the other to drill/screw.

Then, naturally, you'll want to add wheel spacers to make it flush

Seriously, if you don't, someone from Zilvia will kill you and your car.

Can you give me a quick step by step on how to put on the rear fenders?
This is how I unerstand it so far
1. cut stock fender line up to stock "body crease" above it
2. bolt together inner/outer layers of fender
3. put in place eyeball/measure where new fender goes.
4. Pop in rivets, or 3m double-side adhesive
5. bondo over, smooth out

Are these the right steps?
I have a dremel and basic tools
what other tools do I need?


you have it down man cut the fender up as high as you want it to go..i welded my cut fenders together and put a peice of sheet metal in there to keep the smoke out when im smokin the tires....but easiest way..mock the overs with some tape and hang them fin tun them to where you want them,then uhhh drill holes and rivet!

good luck man its fun take your time
