Building a widebody overfender in 5 minutes

As the first overfender is now finished i thought I'd throw together a quick time lapse of the whole process for fun.

Good work

I'll drop off 2016 Accord Coupe when the quarantine is over. Great job

Looks dope, what wheels are those?

Yes it is

[@SBC2317]

How did you build the over fenders for the other side? How does one get the exact measurements?

[@St.111]

It's amazing watching someone who clearly has proper bodywork skill doing this, compared to just a DIY guy. 👌👌

Love your methodical ways and how clean and simple it was. Seen a lot of other people do it themselves and they just don’t have an overall plan and just over complicate it and make more work, but can tell you’ve got a lot of experience and plan it out as the finished product shows. Great work and first video of yours I’ve seen so will subscribe now.

Thank you so much dude, really appreciate the kind words and you checking out the channel!

Are you planning on making a how to or a timelapse of you doing the other side on the front? Would love to see your technique on matching the sides up.

[@H3Humper]

I'm so happy to have discovered your widebody method..! I am planning to go with a similar route as you for a widebody kit on my H3. Thank you a ton for the ideas!

[@1stoopidnic]

Thanks for the ideas! I've done a lot of fiberglass speaker boxes, automotive parts, ect, but I've never thought of using the foam to get the desired shape.

[@صديقالنجوم-خ8م]

came for the overfender, stayed for the soundtrack. Great work man

[@BuildCreate]

Appreciate you checking it out dude!

[@WYNENDYNE]

I applaud anyone who can do this. I have no experience even attempting to do body work, I only fix cars. I’m buying an old Subaru Loyale hopefully but i want to make my own widebody for it and your methods for doing it have CHANGED my way of going about it. I really hope I can pull it off 😂 AMAZING video.

[@BuildCreate]

I think you'll be able to dude. Just take your time, then end result will be worth it.

SICK SVX👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼. I had one as a loaner car in the early 2000s, my buddy owned the shop. No one had ever seen one in the small rural town I live in (population a bit over 1000). I really enjoyed that thing but it was missing something......horsepower. Nice fab work, you got me thinking now, my r50 might benefit from this. Shop time!

This is a very beautiful job and it's inspiring to make it myself! Maybe I'll make one for my Saab 9-3. It has a big dent on the side so a wider body kit like this would be suitable and would cover the damage.

Great video! thank you for the mention in the description also. I stumbled across this video by accident and thought 'Oh that's a great way to use our 12mm foam!'. I was also surprised to see our link in the description as the supplier 🙂. we most likely didn't have it in stock, back when you made this video, but we now also stock 50mm and 600mm wide adhesive aluminium foil. Give me a shout if you do another project like this. Excellent work by the way! Kind regards Martin

Clean work and very professional during the making ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@MrXbox36022]

I want to make one this looks alot easier that some of the other methods

[@dp4racing]

Great skills! Consider using 2” wide clear plastic package tape instead of the metal tape. I’ve used it with success doing fiberglass & it’s cheaper. I’d try adding a “return” flange to the wheel opening to add stiffness. Once you cut the opening like you did, it’s very difficult to add a flange the wet glass won’t bend sharply & stay in place. I’ve seen rope glued to the inside & when the glass is laid on, you wrap it around & in, over the rope. I’m sure there’s plastic hose or foam that would work

[@gunnerlucario780]

My man made that look easy.

[@BuildCreate]

I live for this shit 🤙🏻

[@TheShift1313]

Very nice. Simple and clean! Did you have any issues with the door opening? Also since you laid your fiberglass over the foam would it have been worth it to just use that as a mold and add your small block off pieces to it to create a final with a gelcoat layer?

[@Coloradoaudits]

I love how you have a SVX

[@mrmalavey1098]

At first I thought it was gonna be one of those Indian kit car style Ferrari made of foam builds but this was awesome to watch as literally 2 weeks ago was sat taking a dump wondering what's the most effective way to make overfenders 👌

[@zekyu8474]

Trying to do something with my car, all I want is to beef up the rear maybe half inch max just as a flat panel, would I get the same results following this video? Just go thicker on the fibreglass till I get my desired thickness?

[@SpiritualVibesGM]

Hey bro this is really amazing….. I have a project that I want to do on the rear bumper of my car but I want to use carbon fiber instead…. Have you worked with that material before? I would really like to see you do one of these fenders in Carbon Fiber and keep in the raw black mesh but sand and clear coated. Great job, thanks for the development idea

[@obi-wancornobi3124]

Damn this is flipping sick. I need to do this to my Jetta

[@SHAET00N]

WOW...This is Amazing" ...can i ask... do you think/feel cardboard could be used if also covered with aluminium foil tape???..instead to the Polyurethane foam board ?? it seemed like the Poly.foam board was used just to keep structure in space/distance from the car. once it was dry it looked like you took it off and did nothing more with it...so if i used cardboard for a tighter fit to the car, would it work? (thank you ahead of time)

[@jasonhernandez6291]

For those who don't have all the tools that u have what could be used in place of them and or any techniques you could suggest ?

[@jayspice4987]

That design would look even cooler for the rear wheels as the gap looks like a rear air intake like in renault 5 group b car.

[@JimEckhardt]

Looks pretty good. But it also looks like you're gonna get some serious wheel rub... And I am very curious to see what you do with the doors to make them also fit with the widened look, and open without catching on the widened panels etc. Basically I expect quite a "gap" will be present when the door is closed.

[@BuildCreate]

The wheels clear perfectly fine, one of the main things i was concerned about was tyre clearance...so i checked constantly throughout the process. My old bolt on flares where even closer to the tyres and never rubbed. The door also opens fully without any issue's, i work in a bodyshop so would never make such a rookie error. There will be side skirts to work with the front and back.
