Hey buntavy,

Check with Underground Motorsports. They're working on a S14.5, and they've done the conversion. I think it's pretty straight forward, but ask them just to be sure.

They used conversion fenders from GTP. If you want to use the metal fenders you have to cut them around the top of the wheel well and weld them to the S14 fenders, smooth out, and paint. You can't just use the S15 fenders, they don't line up at the doors.

Thanks Guy for helping out.....Does anyone have any idea how much would it be for custom work to fit a metal fender? OR If i want to go with fiberglass fenders, which fenders are the best fitment out there? I called and asked about the fiberglass fenders, most of them said it will has a little gap about 1/4 inch between door window and front window.
