Looks better and more aggressive than before. Definitely a more affordable alternative than replacing the whole suspension especially since you really like the way it performs already.

I ended up gluing the front fenders down to the light bracket. The tape did not work very well. Haven’t had an issue with them since then. I don’t have inner fenders for the rear, but I did end up buying some Artec front inner fenders.

Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking at fender options and I like this one a lot. Have you found a good wheel well you could install with this setup? Also I saw on the website that the running daytime lights is out of stock. Do you know if I were to buy the non-running daylight option I would be in violation of a vehicle equipment law?

If these are out of stock, I would look at the ones from American Adventure Lab. I ended up with Artec inner fenders. They are OK. I would definitely recommend going with some type of visible turn signal.

I believe it’s possible to reuse a portion of it. Obviously, you would have to trim it up a good bit. I think the main issue would be the lack of attachment points compared to how it was from the factory.

You may be able to trim them up and mount them using the few attachment points that are on the body. But, I'm not sure how flimsy they would be. There's much better aftermarket solutions that are designed for this upgrade.

If it has a two-piece flare design, then yes. I know Max Tow gets wider flares due to the wider axles, but I can’t recall if they get the same one-piece style flare as the regular Sport. The seem is very defined on the two-piece flare.
