nope, I asked the guy, they are custom stretched stock fenders. there are more pics of that car on that long post where everyone posts their fav pimped 951 pics...

edit:

the guy who owns the car said "The rear quarters on the red car are steel, not GT Racing fiberglass. The metal was stretched and rolled."

another pic:

i had to hammer my rear quarters some more the other day- i could only get the jack handle to roll the fenders so far w/o breaking the bead off of my tire or something. This worked for my 17's but the 18's being so wide are picky- i had to beat them in some more to clear.

Thanks for this post! Now I feel much better about my car.
Sorry to take so much joy in your problems Dan. It's just nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem.
