I have never liked our fenders on our trailer, after months of looking at them I decided to make them out of carbon fiber, the original ones are stamped aluminum and just looked cheap, I also looked at the 2011 fenders and if I had a pair of them I would have make them out of carbon but I used what I had here, These are make out of 3K wieve 3 layers vacuum sealed with krystal resin, gel coated on the inside, this was my first attempt at it so I think they look pretty good, I'll try to get a better picture of the driver side when the sun is hitting it.I have another set to finish off for a fellow fuzion owner, he should be happy with his
enjoy

Looks nice!

Do you have a picture from any other angle than straight on the side when mounted? I'd like to see how they look from an angle looking down on them from behind or in front.

I'll get a few pictures up when I got some good sun and angles
they look pretty cool when the sun hits it but the camera does not do it justice, they look totally 3D and the camera just cant get that effect, I'll try again though
The driver side fender looks off in the picture but in person and measured it dead on

Did you build a mold and vacuum bag them?
I do alot of custom parts for boats, race cars etc, but had not thought about making fenderflares like that.
My other question is, Is the Krystal resin UV protected? I use epoxies that are uv stable and others that are not. Depending on the use and location carbon is a little expensive when the tires blow.
