I am looking into a set of RaceOn rear 30mm wide fenders. Nothing too extreme. I had a friend get into an unavoidable interstate melee and banged up my driver rear quarter. Luckily he was fine. Turns out that that quarter already was dented a little, he just finished the job for me. Anyway, I want to use these because they seem like they are easy to install and will cover the damage completely. I want to attach them with double sided tape and rivet them. I plan on repainting the car in gloss white with the roll paint method. Ive seen a couple web sites that outlined installing rear wide fenders, and Im hoping these are not the kind that I will have to cut out part of the tops of the wheel wells to have fit. Does anyone have experience with the RaceOn rears? I have also seen similar rear wide fenders on StreetbeatCustoms.com for slightly cheaper. Both advertise being flexible. Who all here has installed fenders like these (the ones that dont go all the way to the bottom) with rivets?

Prodigy, who makes the rear fenders you have? Also, it looks like you blended them in on the tops and front most sides. Do the fenders you have cover the crease in the rear quarter panel bodyline?

They are Origin 50mm fenders. I didn't blend anything it is probably just the flat primer tricking you. I am not sure what body line you are talking about.

Im talking about the body line thats almost up to the rear quarter window, where the body makes the transition from a vertical surface to a more horizontal surface. On my car that line has been broken up by a couple of places that got dented in. If I got the 30mm fenders I dont know if the one on that side would cover the damage, if it would go up high enough towards the bottom of the rear window. I think the 50mm ones would though, but I dont want to go that wide.

It is either a modified R34 GTR bumper, or some sort of knockoff.
