Has anyone seen this video on widening the rear fenders. I am thinking of doing this.

I've seen it done using 2 fenders and basically creating the additional width the same way.
I bet that way would be quicker?

They make 2" & 3" wider fiberglass fenders.

Glass widened fenders are the way to go for sure! I got some standard width fenders for my last bug from Creative Car Craft and they are amazing. I would use them 100% again without hesitation. This was just thrown together and you can see how well they fit.
