I've noticed how much Aero parts affect the way your car handles but do the Over Fender's affect the handling as well? I've noticed in most cases they add quite a bit of weight but if it helps for the better then extra wait shouldn't hurt right?

I also was though they were like like the easy way to get a Wide Bodykit(Take the Supra as a example). It might, but I think it's for looks. You never know though. It does in some cases put the tires out more then without it. So it might improve handling.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I haven't experimented enough to determine whether the extra weight more than compensates for the supposedly improved handling.

A good way of testing this is to do time trials / attack in the C1 loop lines and see if your car can avoid the wall more efficiently and your time improves.

I hate how they look. Some of the overfenders are cool, but the problem is it seems they neglected to consider wheel spacers. It looks really stupid with flared fenders and wheels in standard position.

I think they give you more downforce so I equip them occaisionaly on FR or RR cars.

it seems to affect handling for me... usually making things more stable.

Honestly Im not a fan of overfenders. Im not really fan of bodykits anyways. Very rare occasions I would dress up my cars with bodykits/overfenders. They just have to look tasteful.
