I am aware that the route im going either to pull or do the voltex kit is expensive. I just want to minimize the cost even if it is a few hundred bucks...
Okay let me clarify. When I meant pull- Basically I was expecting to stretch the rear fenders and adding/welding more metal to make the whole rear fenders wider... Also painting it after everythings done... currently the shop I got a quote from to do this is going to cost about 5-6K just for thsi alone.
Voltex kit- If i go this route I will shave the rear fenders and do everything necessary to put on the fenders. so yes I will cut or shave off the rears... kinda like what cal dide with his car (speedelement)... The only thing is I think the voltex rears look bad on a silver car...
blue by you evo- yeah the garage hrs front fenders cost me about 1k+ just to do them... horrible fitment and painting and all...
Dave- I need to stretch my rear fenders pretty wide cus the wheels stick out of the fenders a lot. you can see pics on the first post...

that looks great! to be honest u dont drive a civic and dont take the cheap way because in the end it will always cost you more. like brendan said once u go with the voltex there is no going back. the only thing i wonder with the voltex is once installed how the hell u get the rear bumper off? can anyway answer that? i saw a pic in the time attack evo's that i think was the valdi evo? it had pulled rear fenders.

the voltex rear fenders technically should be called fender flares. IIRC, from reading the japanese voltex instructions, it uses 2-3 secure mounting points to attach onto the stock fenders. Then use 3M adhesive along inner side of the fenders (flares).
So if i want to take off my rear bumper, I would need to remove the rear fenders and rear diffuser before gaining access to rear bumper. yeah its PITA.

FYI if you pull with less of a tilt on the roller it won't crease the fender like above (or at all in my case cause we got a bit lucky).
