Default Wide fenders

I love the way the fenders are really widened on the vette. Is there an easy way to achieve this on my monte I think it would look really sexy

I guess you might have seen a couple of Monte's on YouTube with fenders fabricated to make them wider. So I guess it depends on what you belive easy is.... it's been done yet does not look easy or inexpensive as it likely involves a repaint of the entire car. I don't know that I'm actually sold on the final appearance either.

Interesting idea I do like the concept but when he walks to the front of the car Idk if I'm fully into how it looks or at least the fenders he chose to use, just me though I have fender plans a lot of ppl probably won't like aha

I personally don't see a reason to widen them. IMO they are already widened enough. I bet you get some pretty wide rubber under our fenders. But I may be wrong. I am also not to sold on the look. But it is diffrent and interesting.

After looking at it, it is pretty nice. But I was told that a staggerd figment is not wise for a FWD...

Personally, I think if its painted black and bodywork is nice that it will look good. Would need a custom hood to make it all come together. He is making it his own and I think thats what we are all after. Give him a break! We all want ours to be different than the rest and his sure will. I like it..
