Hadn't seen these. Pretty neat.
I would get them if they made replicas!!!!

you could always glass those vents over, they do look pretty ricey! but i'd be curious to know how much of a wider tire you could run with these.
Tooooo bad we have room in the front, just not the rear lol
Huh?
There is plenty of room in the rear of the EP3 for suspension movement with up to a 235 with the correct backspacing and even larger with just a ever so slight trim of the rear wheel well arch.
I would think that the stock fender liner would need to be replaced as well, especially seeing it is the cause of most wheel/tire fitment issues.
I have yet to see a aftermarket front fender that addresses the proper fit and retention of the front bumper cover.
I'm positive 88crx bought a set before all the J's Racing murder hoopla and has been shipped the wrong fenders once or twice. I'm sure as soon as he notices this thread, he'll pop in and share his outlook on hte fenders.
I'm pretty sure he finaly got the right set for his car now. I don't think he has them installed just yet though.
F&F status right there y0!
I would rock these in a heartbeat, just no monies at the moment.
And I like the vent, looks sick fish.
There's more room in the front then the back, so I'm saying I would totally run these on the front but the rear would need to be addressed to balance it all out
I'm surprised I haven't seen these yet! I don't like the price but I'd still rock them. Just picked up a JDM front bumper so maaaaaaaybe I can look into these now. If 88crx posts pics up and they look good (if installed), I may hafta go for it. And I do wonder how wide you can go with these.
15mm is a lot of clearance. I just wish someone would address the rear. LOL! But some serious wheels could fit up front with those
The rears you can just roll and pull or even cut or trim it. I'm needing to replace a fender anyway so I might just save up for these if they're still available.
Ohhh, ok. I just saw a few pictures of Kazuo-san's EP3R with the fenders and it looks clean. I really like it.
I want these. maybe i can get the shop to make side marker holes exactly where the oem ones would be.
Yes I have these fenders.... not installed yet, but hopefully in the next couple week the car goes into the body shop.
I'll snap some more detailed pictures tonight, but they are designed to retain the use of the stock fender liners. I'm not sure how much space you gain if you use the liners though, since the lip of the J's fender is wider than stock it doesn't create much clearance. You could make tons of room if you trim the J's fender and ran no liner.
Bumper and side skirt attachment all stay stock, just flares at the top.
Thank you so excited to see some better pics of these fenders.
88CRX: anyway you could mock up one side and take a front shot so we can see the difference?

Here you can see the fender lip.... it's significantly wider, you could trim this to make even more clearance.

And here's a couple pics from some guy in London that posted in my NWP build thread.

tnx for the pics bro
Yes, thanks for posting pics!!! What wheel/tire size are you putting up front once your fenders are installed?
Nice!! I can't wait to see more pics of these fenders. I'm reeeeeally wanting these.
Also, do you have a link to said NWP build page?
Yeah, I got these installed.
I'm the guy from London, that 88CRX referrred too. Had them on the car about a year.
Here's a few pics:

Sexy car TypeRiter. What are your wheel/tire specs?
I do want those fenders.
I actually REALLY, REALLY like these. I would have to get the edm mirrors thou and that all = $ which I would rather spend on boost !!! That explaing the lack of visual expression my car currently has... function > form

I like the look. Gives the car the wide wheel bulge look reminiscent of the S2000.
Nice find!
shit! that fender looks like it ligns up pretty damn good!
Yeah man, the fit is awesome - however the part needs a lot of refinishing and preparation - before they can be sprayed - unlike Mugen parts for example... that are good for a coat of primer then paint.
How do you like the fitment and the quality of the material. Do you drive your car daily? Any problems with chipping, cracking or anything at all with the fiber glass fenders? Do you still have your fender liner? What's your drop? Sorry for all the questions? Where were you on the night of february 16th? LOL...
I bought a pair as well, just waiting on their arrival. What are the specs of your wheels? Are you running any spacers at all? What's your camber setting?
The fitment is spot on - hopefully the pictures capture the fitment nicely. The quality is as any other authentic CFRP JDM part that I have purchased from Japan. The Mugen items are better prepared - this is a bit raw, and requires a lot of prep work (sanding at the edges etc.)
Kinda, but then Kinda not... I would say it's not a daily driver - but that's not through choice - I walk to work as it's a mile away, when I need to use the car, I use the Civic - I have a Nissan for family stuff though.. So yes and no, if you know what I mean.Quote:
Do you drive your car daily?
Chipping No... but there is a tendency that they could crack.. They are pretty delicate - but I wouldn't say they would snap "just like that". There is a degree of flex in th fibre-reinforced plastic.Quote:

[quote]Do you still have your fender liner?[quote]
Yes. And all of the holes and retaining clips line up perfectly. You might need to slightly grind out the holes though so that they are wide enough to take the push-rivet clips without damaging the fender. You don't necessarily need to use the clips at the edge of the fender liner/arch - as it's very snug after the ones behind the wheel are fitted. I mean it doesn't hang down/sag or anything like that.
-60mm to -65mm all round.Quote:
What's your drop?
It's cool B. I wish I knew of someone who could have answered these questions for me when I first bought mine... I had to go through a lot of trail and error - different ride heights, 3 sets of JDM wheels, spacers, no spacers, wheel specs and wheel fitments.. It took me 9-months to get them looking how they are now, and if I'm honest - I may get wider wheels in the future... Nightmare.Quote:
Sorry for all the questions?
In bed with my girl.. I think... maybe it was another girl.. actually.... fck that.. stick to the fenders LOL.Quote:

Nice.Quote:
I bought a pair as well, just waiting on their arrival. What are the specs of your wheels? Are you running any spacers at all? What's your camber setting?
My specs are Advan RZ - GTR Face: 17 x 8 + 30 (front) with 5mm spacer & 17 x 8 +35 (back) on 205/40/17. I would have gone 215/40/17 up front - but my tyre store was out. 215/40/17 won't fit on the rear until I roll the fender, as I'm too low.
Ideally I will roll the fender and go 215/40/17.
Yes I'm running decent camber; approx:: -3.6 degrees up front and similar at the back. If I ran less camber, I think my wheel would sit perfectly in the arch - however due to the camber, it is slightly tucked at the front - but it doesn't bother me at all.
I could go 8.5" or 9" wide easily, but I intend to track the car following the addition of some expected parts, and well tyres aren't cheap (semi-slick) so 8 is okay for me at the moment.
