Does anyone have feedback/thoughts on these? http://www.bossfrog.biz/frog%20arms.htm Seems simple enough that I can make something similiar (now that I have a welder
).

I wouldn't remove my fenders for a mod like that unless it was a dedicated track car. They'd be simple enough to build yourself. Long as you have access to some 1/4 to 3/8 steel or you can weld aluminum. You could even make the ribs bolt on so you wouldn't have to weld anything if you used 90* angle stock.

I was planning to use mild steel, nothing fancy. And it is going to be a dedicated track car. I was thinking probably wouldn't need that big flat part with the holes if I just took some 90* angle and welded them in a "Y" shape.
sorry if you misunderstood, my intention isn't to build for others, just something similiar for myself. My question was if bracing this area was worth the trouble. I'm sure it couldn't hurt...

similar bracing has been used on other vehicles and made by companies like gtspec and cusco...in those cases, they are simply referred to as fender braces...just remember that braces were meant to increase rigidity and stiffen chassis...nothing more...in most cases, the extra bracing leads to alot more creaking noises...

[quote=MiaTurbo;179812]And if there was less flexing, how would it add creaking noise?
If you make one area more rigid, other areas will flex more, and they will creak more.
From what I've gathered, use aluminum if your trying to make something rigid. Two parts both the same weights, the allumium part will be more rigid.
