^^ what an answer..
obviously they are cheap and crappy version of Voltex.. you might have some issues with fitment, and I honestly haven't seen any Evos around that have them. Voltex fenders are few extra bucks but at least you know what you getting

Duraflex is from extreme dimensions, right? I think one of their salesman is a member or sponsor on here, I remember he had a thread where they test fitted all of their evo bumpers. PM him and see if he can test fit a fender and send you pics.

We are a sponsor here and I think that "we suck" is a little bit excessive.

This isn't the greatest pic since I took it with my old iPhone but here is a shot of the MR Edition fenders:

unfortunately these replica pieces always need trimming and/or drilling holes. so while there is "warranty" once you drill hole which you MUST, you cannot return it. yet if you only tape it on to see fitment, not the best test as the mounting holes will dictate how it truely sits....

EXACTLY! there are also better replica's out there that dont require drilling holes etc. from what i can see so far, i wouldn't do business with this company. they wont take the time to trim, drill holes, or paint their parts to show the customer what they look like on the car. just makes you think, if they dont want to spend the money on somthing as important as showing the customer the end result, what else have they skimped out on?

also, you might want to look around for salvage evo's and part outs that people are offering for the stock fenders. its really hard and costs alot of money to get any composite body part to look as good as the oem metal. you can also roll and pull the fenders later on if you want bigger wheels, etc.

The main reason they dont fit is it needs the right mounting spots. IE doesnt have the mount in front of the mirror. Which makes the fender pop out. Also the molding around the a-pillar by the window is too rounded and doesnt match up to the factory lines. All were asking is that you mold a stock part, then add the vent if thats what you desire. I have a set of these in my garage and didnt want to waist the money to send them back for another set. ED if you have any questions please PM me and i can help you work out the kinks. Sorry for using the "Suck" word.

^The hole is for the sidemarker to go in.
The mesh is for the extra vent they added in to make the fender look more attractive.
