s looking at the Accolade fenders and thought they looked pretty sweet but I read all the posts here and I dont really wanna line the pockets of my local body shops so I was wondering if anyone else does something similar.

 

Nakamura Racing Factory makes some fenders too, japanparts.com should sell them.
however it is not going to be too difficult for a body shop to cut some vents on yours

 

Not realy what im after its a dam shame about the others but your cutting idea has got me thinking lol

 

There's a mechanic that collaborates with a body shop in the other board that did it. You may want to ask him to send you some pictures!
