Theme Tuesday: Riveted Overfenders
Posting the AW11 MR2 yesterday, along with a car I saw Sunday night, made me realize that there has never been a Theme Tuesday devoted to riveted on overfenders.
A smooth wide body will always have it’s place, but there is something to be said for the lasting industrial appeal of over fenders. Done right they can often be the modification that really sets a car apart while enabling the use of generously proportioned wheels and tires.
My only problem is deciding whether or not I like them colour matched, unpainted, or contrasting colours.
Unpainted/Contrast/Carbon
Start things out with this Micra
Overfenders really change the look of this Yaris
Anyone know if this was ever finished?
Oliver’s Chariot of doom
Boso influenced CRX
Love this 510, 2JZ just makes it more awesome
Incredible Skyline
Always been a fan of the rawness of this particular car
Picture perfect
Liberty Walk magnificence
Colour Matched
Wat.
Some American grunt
Absolutely stunning
Looks like there’s a chance only the rears are actually overfenders but this 510 was too awesome not to include
I’m sure one of you would have my head if I didn’t include at least one Rocket Bunny car
Keeping the SEMA repeats going just a bit, Bisi’s Porsche
Evil lookin’ little Miata
Followed this build for awhile, I think it was Nissan powered
Solo’s IS300 is probably the best use of overfenders on an is300, the satin black is a nice subtle touch
Death Squad’s Supra
More Supra love from the Farm of Minds fanpage
I flip flop back and forth about overfenders on the 3 but from this particular angle I am a fan
Beautiful… though if it were mine I would forgo the side skirt extensions
More flared Miata… this car has come a long way since I saw it in 2010
Love that the lip/splitter comes out to meet the flares
Not something you would expect to have bolt on flares but the look pretty damn nice here
Another car that If not included someone would have my head
I need a heck of a lot more info on this car… anyone?

1 micra/march 1 yaris/vitz small cars are awesome!
the second pic made me re-think how i feel about yaris’s
What no Minis?
Love that 2-tone 240z, thanks for posting – hadn’t seen it before.
I did a double-take at the Plymouth Duster! Nice variety in this post.
Long time fan of the bolt on color matched flare. I can’t I truly like one style more than the other, with some cars the contrast of non color matched flares looks tough, I guess it all comes down to the direction the car is going and car color, I.e. two tones or matte finish.
@Phil yeah, I like variety.
@Awful, I agree it’s a tough call, execution is paramount.
no GC imprezas with over fenders.
blasphemy!
Right.. I owe you a few of those
