Hi
The front fenders of an S14.5 project I just bought dont fit, so trying to find some that do.
Some fender options that were available are not being made any more.
Only ones I know about are Origin lab , Masa and hacking OEM s14 and s15 together.
Just wanted to check if anyone knew of any good options that are available today ?
regards
Gudmundur

I've seen very good results when people splice the OEM S14 and S15 fenders together. I'd go that route if I were to do the swap.

The guy who did the work had no experience working on Nissans or turner cars specifically, but given a set of S14 and S15 fenders, and a pair of trashy, fiberglass conversion fenders to use as a template, he welded them together great. I had almost no fitment issues on my build.

Re: S14.5 conversion fenders
Would you mind posting some various shots of your S14.5? I have an S14 in the same color and I am still torn between going with the Kouki front or S15 front. Ha haThe Inflicted wrote:The fenders in question:

Re: S14.5 conversion fenders
It's actually not the Nissan factory Ruby Red.
It's a Ford color from 2008- Sangria Red. In retrospect I'm not really that happy with it- it only looks really good in certain lighting conditions.

Re: S14.5 conversion fenders
It's all good, definitely helps give me a visual, as it's close enough. I'm planning on painting my car a slightly different color anyways (Lexus Infrared). Thanks for posting them!

Re: S14.5 conversion fenders
Lexus Infrared is a good one.
What was that weird Toyota red that had blue metallic overtones to it? The one they used on the FT-86 concept cars? Monkey butt red or something?
I've never seen it in person but it sounded interesting.
