Being a former 3000GT/Stealth enthusiast, I've watched the platform grow from next to no real nice body mods to having some very nice options to keep the car relatively stock in appearance(no gawdy bodykits here) with the introduction of the Cianci Performance Wide Body Fenders.

Now onto my point.
Since Mafix lives practially at my house, and then I live at his house(since my GF lives there aswell) I have access to a parts car, mainly a nice shell thats not completely tore the hell up, and a nice set of fenders that are sitting in my garage taking up space because he never seems like taking them with him when he meets up with the guy who at one point in time wanted them(very nice too. Straighter than a stock fender.)
So, while spending another long drive out on the road, I was wondering how hard could it be to make a set of fenders similar to the ones that Cianci makes for the 3/S platform?
Well, with access to the nice stocker fenders, and a little bit of elbow grease, I think I could make them myself, or with Mafix's help.If they came out right would anybody else be interested in these? I'm not going for the big 'Body kit and neons look' just something a little more updated and modernized for the ST16x platform. Sorry 5th gens, I just don't like the 5th gen at all, and I have no access to a set of fenders/a car to test fit them on(granted, Mafix's car is all molded into one giant piece. Carlos aka Silence on here has an All Trac that I want some kinda bad thats in prestine shape and a good canidate for this)
I think my first attempt would be just a mock-up to see what I could do, and then after that I would attempt to make a mold, then just get rid of the stock fender entirely, and make a complete replacement fender, complete with mounting holes and the whole nine yards.
As for the rear of the car, I am still tring to figure out how I could accomplish that. I haven't quite learned how they moved the gas filler neck around to completely remove the fuel door, and mouting that inside the car does not appeal to me, unless it was a straight up race car(every bit of wind resistance helps I guess)
I'm not looking to get flamed for this, just expressing my ideas, and wondering if this thought has ever crossed someone elses mind, and what the rest of the groups opinion is on this. I would probably only try to extend the fender slightly to also accomidate a slightly wider rim(more traction the better right?) and more tire.
Mafix when you read this, I am taking your fenders as rent for the space they are taking up in the garage! Harrharr. And to see if I can figure out a way to do this.
PS I'll try not to destroy them.
