I'm planning on doing a S14.5 conversion but I was wondering what is a good S15 conversion fender out right now? I want to buy one where I wont have any gaps, any problems with, and one I dont have to modify. I was looking at the duraflex OEM S15 fender but I'm not sure how good it fits. If anyone has any input about that fender or any other suggestions would help a lot. thanks a lot

You should search some more, but I can't really say that seeing as I don't know where the search button is on this new forum. From what I heard you should stay away from GTP fenders. Read this.

The best conversion fenders are no conversion fenders. They all suck, they are all fiberglass, fiberglass waprs, cracks, and chips too damn easy. But if you heart is set on fiberglass junk orgin.

There you have it. The best thing to do would be to go with an OEM S15 fender and have it grafted on to your stock S14 one. That way it will match the curve of the door and solve various other fitment issues. I'd steer clear of fiberglass.. Too many guys have thought they got a good deal on a conversion kit and spent way too much money to polish the turd that is poorly fitting fiberglass. All in all do some more searching and maybe you can find a decent write-up on it and see what other guys have done. Best of luck!
