Default Runner/Runner Style Front Fenders

I've always loved how the the fenders of the Runner kit keep the lines of the SC without being grossly overexaggerative, but alas they are defunct - or I would have to hunt down some in Japan or Australia, which I have no desire to undertake. The closest that I can find for the rear fenders are the K&M rear widebody fenders, so with a bit of massaging of the fuel door area, this is a perfect solution. HOWEVER, I have not come across an unvented front widebody fender. Short of massaging a pair of Origin fenders to remove the vent, or having someone with welding skills far superior to my own fab a metal pair - what are my options?

love it...

That's my favorite widebody kit. I didn't know this was a kit you could buy, I thought it was a one off all this time. I'd take that over a Vertex Ridge any day of the week.

This is the complete kit...



The last time that I saw any mention of it was actually a post last year on here in the for sale section IIRC for a Runner kitted Soarer in Japan. It was going fairly cheap all things considered.

Thats a clean kit along with the AC full wide body kit. Sucks that neither are available anymore as far as I know.

i dont normally like kits and all, but i like the wide rear fenders. it gives the car a sort of 911 c2 to 911 c4 change. in other words it looks amazing.

Great looking kit, its a shame that this is hard to get, expensive or isnt made anymore yet everyone loves it.

Hey ExtremeDimensions....

(since you already make a replica Vertex kit) could you fab up these front fenders?? you could dual market them as a standalone product and as an option on your existing kit(*wink wink nudge nudge*)

It's just a beautiful kit... If you saw that car for the first time without knowing what the SC300 was, you could easily be mistaken to think it's a stock design, because it's so not overdone, doesn't have ridiculous drifter-type styling cues like the Vertex, and looks sexy as hell.

That kit looks great. And I'm glad to see it on a pre 97.
