Actually I can't take a picture of this any more since my fenders are now flush with the doors after the body shop finished all the paint work.

I will try to get the measurements for the fender this week though.

You can see pics of the changes in the VIP forum.

This measurement is from the edge of the center of the hub to the outside edge of the fender.

The length is 3.5 inches (88.9 mm). I used a tape measure and level to make sure everything was even in the measurement.

If someone can measure a stock fender then we will have a comparison.

You can easily pull the stock US fenders 6-10mm.

The way we did it on mine isn't immediately noticeable if you
just walk past my car, but if I'm parked next to a stock GS
you can certainly see the difference!

whats the easiest way to "pull" the front fenders without damage is there some sort of process ?? just trying to justify if the jdm fenders are worth the extra $$ as apposed to the usdm fenders ?? and bob got pics ?
