How do you put S15 OEM fenders on an S14?

[EazyBreazy]

Here is what you have to do to mate up the S14 fender and S15 fender.



The blue are where you make the cuts. The orange is the direction to pull to make them come together. The S15 fender is thiner at the top of the wheel well, hence the need to cut and pull the S14.

I wish I could have found an old pic I had saved that showed this done and welded waiting to be painted but it is aparently long gone. My memory is not thank god. I'll showing love to another s14.5 build. I was going to do this to mine aswell but when carbon fiber conversion fenders. Copies of the mesa over fenders but in carbon fiber. If you have any more questions man let me know.

that is absolutely the worst possible way to merge the two fenders together man, did you even bother looking at the body lines around the fender and compare the two. They are completely different and if you do not include the entire upper arch of the wheel well then you will wind up with an abomination of a car.

the principal is the same. does anyone bother to read this stuff?

read the link he posted, its virtually the same for s14 and s13 when doing this conversion, no matter what you need the entire wheel well off of the s15 fender put onto the stock s14/13 fender otherwise you'll have the abomination i spoke of earleir

Thanks for clearing that up!I thought it sounded like a weird idea too, especially when the fender guy I talked to yesterday voiced the same concerns. I figured that since someone had done it the way the picture showed it had to be true, but obviously not.

Again, does anyone have pictures or PERSONAL experience?

for ****s sake the article that d!ck posted is the personal experience of the guy that did it, this is the internet your not gonna find someone to hold your hand man. read the article it shows how to do it on whatever year car. then grow a pair, measure carefully and flipping cut the b1tches

Why dont you just go outside and start doing something instead of spending a week on here asking for 3,000 opinions. You could have been done by now.
