for those that have seen my own version of the so-low, i was thinking about adding a ws6 hood, an anniversery edition spoiler and these fenders. what are your opinions on these fenders for my car for the finished product? i have a 2dr 98 in blk.

Imo stock fenders look alot better
10-06-2008
not bad, i kind of like those, get the SD air dam as well and itll look even better
10-06-2008
i need to get my front clip re-painted, thinking of doing the sd lip. and hood.... maybe these fenders...

Deffinatly are different. With what your wanting to do on appearance, it should look pretty good.
10-07-2008
just a matter of money situation thats it. ALSO if i can find rear window louvers like 70s style t/a's, that would be sick also. i wonder if they make those for our cars (97-02 2dr)
10-07-2008
Haven't seen any, but if you or sombody you now is good with fiberglass, they could be made.
10-07-2008
yea I don't know how the louvers would look.. i was never too crazy about them though

Those fenders might not look too bad. I'd have to see a real pic of them on a GP to say for sure. Not to mention, someone checking out the quality of them would be nice before purchasing.
I'd rather have a flared fender for my car for looks and clearance with bags (carbon fiber would be nice too).

on that same site, i saw 2 guys twisting a mustang bumper (lol) but still if thats the same case with fenders, i dunno, id prolly just lay it over the existing ones. same thing with their ws6 hood. its waay cheaper than i seen it on some of the other sites. (maybe because of the crap they made it with or its not as strong....)

I'll tell you guys this..DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. Extreme Dimensions Is garbage. Nothing lines up and the fenders and hood have to be shaved because they are so thick. I can definitely post pics if you dont believe me.
10-16-2008
I 100% believe you and have heard the same with the WS-6 hood from others. I would still like pics for my own curiosity if you don't mind (here or email). I really wish Extreme Dimensions quality was there. They are one of the few companies that actually gets stuff out on a consistent basis. To a large extent, they are a wholesaler and resell from other manufacturers. They do have a quite high BBB rating though as a company (not quality). I guess depends on what you're buying, but for us not much options out there.Originally Posted by nutcase
Gotta go mostly custom, one-off here.
Being able to twist it up like that isn't the bad part. There actually materials (fiberglass variants, etc.) that allow you to do that and they can be VERY high quality. That is a great attribute to have for front and rear fascia, to be able to flex without cracking and still being able to be repaired if minor damage. I prefer urethane, but it harder to fix and can sag (well, carbon fiber if I have my choice). Not sure I'd want a flexi hood or fenders really.I don't get it either. But I can take a video of us twisting up a ABS bumper and say it's the new flexible material and make it out of some concoction. If it cracks on you, well I'd just say it must've been a bad batch. lol!!!!

Yeah, I heard about one guy that went through 2 or 3 hoods from them because it kept cracking.
10-15-2008
but they twisted the bumperhaha

duraflex is the same thing as extreme dimensions?
10-15-2008
from what I have seen yes. I might be wrong, but I beleive duraflex is the type of material used. A new flexible fiberglass.
10-15-2008
ED uses Duraflex. ED does not know what their doing when the make a body part! The first hood I got was not the hood i ordered( came from ED not MPD like it should have) was borked.

well that makes sense on why their stuff is so cheap in price. DAMMIT!! in the words of seinfeld's george costanza, "just when i think im free, the pulllllllll me back in" i thought i had everything i wanted right on that site, but nope!! gotta keep lookin i guess. or maybe ill just hold off since snow's coming soon.
