There have been posts in the past about fenders. Here are some pictures of a friend's car that might help.

Sure, these fenders increase the unsprung weight. Mounting on the axle is the best way to control clearence as opposed to body mounting of fenders with unknown actual wheel vertical travel. I doubt these tires grow much through the lights. The benefit of this method fender scores higher on the my decision matrix than the weight.

A second look at the pix tells me this is a very nicely constructed car.

What is that thing I think I see under the front of the front fender? A camera, lights?? or is is it me.... the usual PUI? yup, wine.... Lee in KC explained PUI to my satisfaction, so there.

What you see under the front fender is a very effective head light. I have cruised with him at night and it works VERY well.

Its a long time since I have seen 'surfboard' fenders. Had a pair on my T back some 37 years ago. Funny I got a ticket for them, under our law of 'insufficient mudguards' (fenders in US) Cost me 25 bucks but the cop just wanted to get me on something. He even got a steel rule out and measured them, saying he would get back to me. He did with a ticket. I think its because he could nt catch me and I pulled over and pretended I had a problem, when I realized he was in pursuit.
