Re: fibre glass front ends

ok im not an expert but if i had to guess id say if its just the front bumper cover id say your good and 4 inches longer just means it would stick out further but if its a complete front clip my guess would be the 4 inches long is for a stretched front end in a heavily modified drag car, again thats just my guess

Re: fibre glass front ends

I think the fenders are 4 inches longer, your front end would need to be modified to accommodate the extra length. try running a search to see if you can find out some better info.

Re: fibre glass front ends

Yep....If I recall correctly, the extra 4" is between the wheel arches & the back. Meaning, they'll sit 4" too far forward, but you could always trim them to fit a stock size.

Re: fibre glass front ends

Those are very much made as just a cover for a drag car, so it'll be very thin and not have stock mounting locations.
