Disclaimer:

Carbon Creations fenders and fender flares are aftermarket accessories specifically designed for track, show, and off-road use. As with all Carbon Creations products, these components are not intended for public road use. Carbon Creations disclaims any responsibility for damage, injury, or loss resulting from their use. Due to the nature of carbon fiber reinforced with fiberglass and the manufacturing processes involved, Carbon Creations fenders and fender flares are not ‘direct bolt-on’ parts and often require significant preparation, such as trimming, cutting, sanding, fitting, or adding material to the fiberglass-reinforced areas. Installation may involve custom bodywork, and common issues like warping or fitment challenges can occur if not installed properly.

Fender Flares
Carbon Creations fender flares are designed to extend the wheel arch for a more aggressive stance, often complementing a complete body kit. Depending on the style, some fender flares may need to be attached using rivet nuts with a rubber gasket between the flare and the original fender, neither of which is included. When drilling holes for rivet nuts, care must be taken when drilling through carbon fiber to prevent splintering or damaging the material. Additionally, more aggressive flares may require cutting and rolling of the original fender to allow for greater wheel clearance and a lower stance. Since carbon fiber reinforced with fiberglass components require precision, adjustments during installation are common, and proper alignment and fitment are essential to avoid gaps or uneven surfaces.

Fenders
Carbon Creations fenders provide a sleek and customized aesthetic for vehicles. These lightweight carbon fiber reinforced with fiberglass replacements often require trimming and reshaping to align with the vehicle’s mounting points. In some cases, additional material may need to be added to the fiberglass-reinforced areas for enhanced durability and secure fitment. Modifications to factory components, such as removing fender liners or adjusting brackets, may be required for proper installation.

For best results, Carbon Creations recommends professional installation by a custom shop experienced in working with carbon fiber reinforced components. Traditional auto repair shops may not have the necessary expertise for proper trimming, cutting, or modifying these materials. Like all Carbon Creations body kits and accessories, these fenders and fender flares are strictly for track, show, or off-road use. Due to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, most Carbon Creations fenders and fender flares are not street legal. Carbon Creations does not endorse or recommend using these products on public roads or highways.
