I think those look pretty nice just as is if you want really wide wheels. Molding them on would be a big mistake. You could mold them on a prototype then make a new mold. But you would need to make all four new complete fenders and prob cost as much as a full body kit (couple of thou).

That's Rob's (Amida) project car. He works on it when he's not designing/manufacturing killer stuff for other people.

Rob (Amida) made them for his car. I do not know if he actively sells them, but he sure is capable.

Your not going to bond and mold them on with anything that wont fail...they are different materials.

Pontiac Sunbird and Toyota Supra are just two cars that had bolt on flares from the factory. They looked just fine.

We need either some simple bolt on units for the front or 20mm wider stock looking fenders (prefer the latter). Our stock fenders don't cover modern wheel/tire combos well.

I agree. Some of the fiberglass parts experts here need to make new replacement fenders. The rears would be a lot more expensive, but there are other options for the rears.
