Thread: can anyone comment on duraflex wide fenders?

    can anyone comment on duraflex wide fenders?

    I'm trying to find wide fenders that arent sorcery. I need basically wider version of the stock fender nothing super fancy. The only thing I really came across was these various MH knock offs and other cheap fenders. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    The GT300 ones suck... The front fenders were about 1/2" short at the door. I had to cut them up and reglass them to make them fit properly.

    Cantrell made or makes a set that's stock looking but wider than downforce. I doubt you can use the stock fender liner though with cantrells.

    Just looked up the cantrell ones and that might be the ticket! Thanks sduffass, now to track them down when I have the money.... yay -_-

    I am in the same dilemma to. I want wide front fenders that I can use my factory liners, qualty is a must, as well as excellent fitment. I know there is a Japanese company that makes the factory JDM fenders that lets us use the fender liners, does anyone know what company it is?Frank

    No Duraflex on the NSX, buy a civic if you want to use duraflex parts!!

    I don't know anybody that has ever run anything duraflex. The pictures on their website are nsx's they have copied off the Internet that don't even have their parts on it. They use my nsx to advertise their hood. I have requested via phone call directly to there marketing person that they take my car down, and they say they will. But after a few weeks I see it again. My white nsx has an oem Honda nsxr hood, but they advertise it on their website and ebay as a duraflex hood

    To make a wider set of fender liners isn't that hard. One way is to splice two liners together which I have done a couple of times. It's not a really big deal. Ask the folks that are doing or have done the fender install. They ought to be able to figure it out, I mean, they should be able to.

    Hmm nice, yeah the only reason i mentioned duraflex is because that is all that really showed up on search. My brother mentioned that sorcery 2 i think has fenders that go back inside to the door? is that true? And does anyone know where you can still get a Cantrell or MH front fender? Or is second hand the best way now a days?

    If that's his car, and his pic, being used without his permission and it's NOT their panel, they have stones putting it up with their watermark on it.

    Here is a picture of my car. They have used it on the duraflex website and on carbon creations eBay ad (I copied this from a current eBay ad right now). See the duraflex watermark on this picture that scorp965 took of my when we were at cars and coffee. See my build sheet that was left in the picture (on the windshield)

    Nice company to take whatever pictures they want (in this case of my car with oem Honda nsxr parts to claim the hood as an example of their duraflex hood)

    Nice.
    Also car the pbassjo found I believe was Jason's (nsxsupras) now Hugo's car. That car has a downforce hood

    There was a shot of my interior that was lifted off of a thread from NSXPrime and used to advertise another company's product on their site and ebay. Like in your case it was not their product or their picture. It happens.

    The pic taken by scorp965 is of such nice, quality it's no wonder they would want to use it.
    It's not right though if it's not their product, they haven't got permission to use the photo and have no disclaimer like "Not actual product, for illustrative value only. Product may be different than shown". That's the Internet. Buyer beware.

    That crop job looks like it was done using MS Paint.

    Not many companies make wide body kits that look very similar to stock. The only one that comes to mind was the Comptech kit of the past, which I think either duraflex, seibon, or one of those types of companies make now. Fitment isn't great, but from what I heard neither was the CT kit. Finding a reputable shop to install/modify the kit should be the hardest part.

    Need to check with DF but i recall them 10mm in stock form and optionally larger.
    Which should clear any practical wheel setup (from a performance stand point)
