Yeah I think there like $650 each. I'm was planning on having the same shop do the rears that did your conversion. You think it would be cheaper doing it that way?

It will be cheaper to graph the OEM ones.

Correct- when we say graph OEM - we were talking about buying #5 and instead of installing the entire piece, instead cut the arch section out and graph it on

I don't think they'll be wide enough, or shapely enough. Wish someone other than Prior Design would just come out and make something.

Thanks - and you'd be the guy to talk to. Don't think those are quite what I'm looking for though...

BTW - your magazine cover is always on the top of my coffee table stack. 10/10

awesome. appreciate it.


Someone needs to make some simple rivet on fender arches. Its pretty crazy the hard motorsport ones are only $400 a set. I am sure they could make a more aggressive set for the e82 if there is enough demand.

I have a company looking into it, they did the Berk 135i fender flares, wish they still had the molds for that, so they will be doing a affordable rivet style flares for front and rear, which I am sure most people in this thread would be interested.

new thread OP has yet to comment anymore....
