Things to be considered:

When developing for this chassis, the end goal was a aggressive solution to run a square setup.

1. Most full fender replacements rate their width increase at the 12 o'clock fender arch position, which for this platform, really doesn't matter since the inhibiting width exists at the "corner marker light" position. Anything past 15mm does not matter unless you account for this. This is why RB is a Multi-piece cut and bolt-on... and all others that claim to be a true full fender replacement width +20 or more width or so end up with exaggerated camber solutions.

2. VF is one of the first that is a true one piece bolt-on solution that is not only 20mm at the top of the arch, but also at the parking light corner, ( the full sweep ).. that does not force the end user to cut, or alter the oem configuration in any major way.

3. The other controlling factor is the bottom frame square block extrusion. While most fender solutions navigate just shy of this, we mold right to the edge so the is area does not "poke" past the fender causing the end user to trim the frame and spot weld the separated body seam back together.

4. This design while featuring the most air evacuation, also has a engine pass-through helping to alleviate temps.

5. All products are road tested and made here in Ca., locally for a level of quality control that is unmatched.

Totally understandable and I agree.


When I saw the price I was like "holy $hit!!" But at the end of the day, it was what I like the best out of all the options so I got them and I have no regrets. The fitment was absolutely perfect and I love the way they look.


I still think the Todoroki's are the best looking fenders available for this car. I agree with the above saying this fender design seems to work a lot better on the Evo's but that all comes down to personal taste.


I still love my Todoroki's

Kinda worried about rocks knocking up and damaging them.

Also any chance of 20-30mm wider rear flares?
