My car will be a daily driver and attend track days, I will never blow tires in the rear that ****s up the overfenders.
The rear overfenders is Origin Type-2 and the wheels is SSR Professor SP1 17x11.5 et15. If the overfenders had a better fit I may go with the riveted mounting but they don't, there is space between the stock fender and overfender which I want to fill in. I've read a lot of threads about how dumb it is (on Zilvia.net off course) and that it's gonna crack, but I really like it when it's done right:
My car is a bare shell with primer on right now so sanding where the rear quarter windows is is no problem.
My thoughts is:
1. Sand the area where the stock fender and the overfender meet to make the glue stick with 60-120 grit.
2. Apply 3m body adhesive to the overfender and the area on the stock fender where I've sanded down.
3. Fasten the overfender with self-drilling screws
4. Remove the self-drilling screws
5. apply 3m body adhesive in the holes from the self-drilling screws and make it sink down in the overfender so I can apply bondo and filler over the holes.
(5.1 Maybe use expanding foam inside the overfender before bondoing so the overfender gets more support?)
6. cut away the body adhesive that's sticking out between stock fender and the overfender.
7. Sand the area where the stock fender is showing with 60-120 grit to make the glass-fiber bondo stick
8. bondo with glass-fiber bondo
9. bondo with usual fine bondo
How does this sound? Any inputs?
