Karbonius CF Front Fender - new peice 900grams

Thoughts. Aside from weight, would this be super beneficial for a clubsport type build.

Great I'm going to need these too.

I wouldn't run them on my street car but fit and finish looks very nice. As it is with all their other stuff. Sweet!

Seems too much for a street car. Too much for an HPDE car too.

i think these would look nice on darker color cars ..
less obvious, but a bit aggressive looking~

I’d like to see a pic of what these look like completely painted.

There's a very specific allure to me for HPDE--
These add 15mm of front clearance. That means you could run a square setup, with reasonable/pyrometer determined camber, without spacers in the rear (as in, an ET25 would fit properly on all 4 corners).

Not that I'm doing them-- I just moved to a staggered track wheel setup (still square tires), to get away from spacers.

I can't tell if I like them yet!

The car would need to be modified a bit to warrant these things. I think they'd look out of place on a relatively stock M3. That said, letting that positive pressure out of the wheel wells could help with aero lift. The issue with a street car is 99% are still running the fender liners. That would limit these to a purely cosmetic piece on the street unless the fender liners were modified.

Side note: would be pretty interesting to see the impact of these in a wind tunnel or other controlled environment/test

IMO all painted would not look that great, however, having *either* the large fins on top painted and the thinner rear wards ones in carbon would look better, or top carbon and rearwards painted. It looks to GT3RS, and thats not a look that imo works for the car.

The weight and aero benefits are there though, and its Karb so there's that.

Are these wider than a stock fender...it's hard to tell from the pics? If they are, i would imagine that you would want/need matching rears as well!?

+15mm

+15mm

Ok, then just from a purely balanced/aesthetic standpoint, one should install matching rears as well-IMO.

Just wait homie, everyone will be on this bandwagon, stock cars need not apply.

Also comical reading about balance when guys here run a goofy 10" square setup.

[ra2fanatic]

Nope. Not a fan.

I have zero doubts!
