Carbon Fiber Fenders

As I get closer to finishing the mold for my scoop decklid, I'm looking to my next big project. I want to do fenders next but for what year car first, please help me decide.

Joe

rear fenders for 67 to 73 standards & 71 - 72 1302's are the same

and rear fenders for 74 to 77 standards & 73 to 79 1303's are the same

front fenders for 67 to 77 standards are the same

and front fenders for 1302's & 1303's are the same too (only the bumper holes are different

I think that you merge some of these together and also seperate fronts & rears into the different catergories too.

Right now, as it is, my vote if for 1302/1303 front fenders & late standard & 1303 rear fenders (elephant foot)

Hello Joe,
Any chance you will make widened flared fenders, something as attached picture? My application is for racing therefore I am looking for something as light weight as possible. 1.5" widened for the front's and 3" for the rear's would be good as I have 944 alu trailing arms and wide wheels.
Regards
Tim

Joe, if you make a set of standard fenders for a '70 bug you'll have my order!
Maybe you could build a set of fenders without any cutouts for the headlights/turn indicators/taillights, so we could modify them to take any size/type of light (new Mini? ).
Just my .02
Cheers,
Dave

If you made a set to match the ones on the blue super above, I would by a set too!
Please let me know if you will, how much, and when I can buy them!

I would want a set of widened pre 1966 front fenders and a set of widened 1974 and later rear fenders all without bumper bracket holes but with headlight buckets already installed.

Hi Joe, good to hear from you. 21/2-3" widen rear fenders for 03s without the flare.

I would deffinately buy some widened or flared fenders (preffer both) for my 1302, I would need 74 later rear tailight buckets for the lights I'm using...

I've been meaning to ask you about the widend fenders, but I guesse you were on vacation?!
