Is there such a thing for our car wheel arches? i was considering going that route eventualy but have not found anything online that suggest these actually exist :iono:, some idiot hit the back rear wheel arch and bent it. Its not notisable but enough to mess with the lines of the car. They want $800 to fix stating that they basically have to paint the whole car (for a 2" dent) and thats not gonna happen.

IF YOU KNOW A GOOD CUSTOM BDY SHOP YOU CAN BUY 2 FRT. FENDERS
AND THEY CAN CUT THEM TO MAKE YOU SOME FLARE FOR IT, IF THATS WHAT YOU MEAN. IT WIL WIDEN THE BODY ALITTLE AND GIVE IT A MORE AGGRESSIVE LOOK.

If your talking about the chrome type push on / tape on / or screw on stuff I wouldnt. Itll turn that 2" dent into a rusted out fender in no time. Ive never seen those things do anything good and Ive pulled them off of every car Ive owned thats had them and had to repair two cars which still had them when I bought them.
Look at any car thats a few years old and youll see what I mean...
Just my opinion.

uyeah pull 'em and get some serious spacers

I would if they existed but i have looked for 3 days online and nothing. I tough maybe if i could find something for the XA (almost the same wheel well) i could adapt it to uour car but no luck there either. The one for the XB will not fit our cars. So im stuck, maybe slaping a carbon fiber patch on both sides and make it even.

I was thinking more in the terms of a wheel arch mole. Ive seen them in Japan but are very hard to find here. I guess ill have to freaking paint that fender (the whole quarter freaking panel) :thumbdown:

There are some major 4X100 spacers out there. Pull those bitches out and squeeze some 16X8 in the rear. No one will notice the dent anymore.

I had some universal fenders that i'll use as a reference and will go with fabrication if i like it. I'll post later pictures.
