Default Anyone chop their front fender?

I like the look of the shortened front fender on this TL.



Possibly a just a little too short, but...anyone have similar pics from a F2 or F3?

Well.........let's see some pix!!!

Yeah, I think it is a little short on the TL too, but I do like it better than stock look.

I never had a stock fender, so I designed my own. It didnt turn out exactly how I imagined it (made the radius of the curve too large so it comes off the wheel), but it makes it look a little more agressive.

Wow, yeah I see what you mean but it turned out pretty good despite the larger radius.

How did you make it?

Funny you ask, I drafted it in a cad program and had access to a SLS rapid prototyping machine which has pretty much the same material properties as fiberglass. I doubt that you have access to something like this, and it definately is not cost effective if you have a company build it for you.

Bummer, I was hoping it was fiberglass or resin or some commonly available material. Think you're going to do another one?

P.S. - all of my picture links are broken at the moment because the retards at Comcast decided to screw up everyone's online storage.
