since i already know this is going to get a lot of flaming from people on here, let me tell u this now. if you're gonna flame, or if u don't wanna help, GTFO of my thread.

for those of you who are willing to hear me out, thank you.

I'm doing a S13.4 Zenki conversion on my hatch, and i have been reading up that people have found conversion fenders for sale through AIT? i am only finding these:
http://www.aitracing.com/shop/index.php ... ts_id=1007
they look like kouki fenders. is there fenders i am missing?
i have already swapped core-supports, and intend to make this conversion the best fitting to my personal ability, but i am stuck with the fender availability issue. i would be perfectly willing to have someone custom make me some fenders if the fitment and quality would be good, and the price is low enough. if anyone knows where i can get fenders, or have fenders made, please let me know. i have done all the research i can, and have yet to see any zenki-compatible conversion fenders for sale.

the other question i have, is what is the best way to mount the hood to make sure it's spot-on-centered and not crooked? at this point in my conversion, it's looking like a tap+die set is probably going to be required... does anyone have any alternatives or ideas? thank you everyone who's willing to give me information and help. you will be mentioned when it is completed :) <3

i didnt look at the link on company computer so i cant but if they look like kouki fenders then they probably are since thats the popular front end of these conversions.

So idk if anyone makes zenki conversion fenders cause not alot of people do it, but what you can do or have someone do, instead of makeing new fenders just pick up some zenki fenders and you can either get junkyard s13 fenders or your own s13 fenders cut the front half off both sets of fenders and weld the front of the zenki fenders to the back of the s13 fenders. This isnt just a cut n weld procedure though you have to measure everything to make sure they fit right.
