Interesting wide fender idea from JDM land

this guy went to install 3000GT brakes, and that requires +30 offset wheels instead of the usual +42 - +38 stuff. ends up the fender won't cover the wheel....

and what he did, is that he cut a section out of the 8G very obvious wider arch and welded it to the fender on a 7G.

the outcome is quite awesome. :)

Not too bad.... but it doesn't really flow that nicely..... and you'd have to flare out the rear to match it properly.

I prefer flares tho. he probably used spacers, otherwise IDK how it can be done w/o them

[hk20000]

flares will destroy the whole sleeper look of the 7G IMO.....

coz even with carbon fiber hood the way a 7G looks don't suggest anything like 240bhp AWD ready to eat your WRX performance...



flares would.

This Mirage looks pretty damn good with flares, of course no need of graphics

[hk20000]

That's coz you are going for the EVO5 look.....

7G can't go for a "evo what" look because the high performance version looks exactly like the lower performance version - exactly what makes it a sleeper.

analogous to the 2000 M5 is a sleeper but a 2004 M3 isn't. Therefore the idea of flaring a Galant is same as to flare an M5....sacrilegious!

You could make the evo 5/6 one work.... similar to the one in japan, but by molding the curve of the guard out.... basically make it look much more pumped...

I remember that Mirage, if the 5G Mirage had cheaper engine options I would have gotten one. Did you find a Mirage mko ?

I think you can drop 8g 4g64 in it

Nah, I found a sweet deal for 5g manual Mirage for 1000, but Im still paying off my tuition. maybe in the summer tho
