Does anyone know of any suppliers of fibreglass S13 silvia wideguards that fit properly? I know there are several suppliers out there selling absolute garbage, but I want some that line up with the existing bodywork properly.

I have a set on my Sil80 but i don't know what company made them. Now I need another set for the tracksilvia

D-max are decent. I have a pair for my AE86. you're welcome to come and check them out. the build quality is surprising.

There was a thread about this on NS.com, and the conclusion seemed to be that D-Max stuff fitted very well compared with the other products out there.

There is now a genuine Vertex dealer in Australia by the way, if you are looking for that sort of kit.

Is there a Sydney based supplier for Dmax stuff? How much wider than stock are their S13 guards? I'd be looking for 30mm to fit stupidly fat rims

yeah empireaero sucks as a trader. I also dont think the dmax stuff is 30mm

I'd really like another pair of whatever i have on the sil80. Its like a wisesports style thing. Could even be jetspeed for all i know

D-max do two styles of wide fronts, their normal ones and their D1 ones. D1 style is 40mm, normal style is 25mm.

the pair I have are the D1 spec guards. they're good gear. TMB,maybe the guy you suggested I speak with recently can help you procure a pair?

http://www.dmax-cs.com/d1fender.html

there is always the option of modding a pair of std guards as well...

my dmax guards fit fairly well but my origin ones fit even better

ive also had some cheap no name ones that were horrible so I guess you get what you pay for

I had the d1 s13 dmax guards on my sil80

I have a D-Max Kit & fitment is freaking awesome...

I cannot say the same about my Topstage Guards though.. So they are ones to steer very clear from..

D-max have excellent fitment.. Im looking forward to seeing how the TRA Kyoto stuff bolts up also..
