Common Applications

The 326POWER Gachabari Medium 1 Front Fender is suitable for S15 Silvia owners who want considerably more front-fender width for aggressive wheel fitment, a lower stance, or a stronger front profile without moving into a more extreme full wide-body conversion. The approximately 45 mm increase provides additional visual and physical space around the front wheel area, while the replacement-type construction allows the fender to work with factory-shaped surrounding body components. Final compatibility depends on the condition of the vehicle, bumper shape, side-step configuration, wheel width and offset, tire size, suspension setup, steering clearance, ride height, and installation method.

326POWER Character

326POWER is closely associated with Japanese stance culture, aggressive wheel fitment, very low vehicle setups, drift-inspired styling, and distinctive wide-body designs. The Gachabari Medium range provides more width than a mild fender conversion while remaining visually more restrained than the company’s most extreme wide-body products. On the S15 Silvia, the Medium 1 front fender achieves this by adding approximately 45 mm of width while preserving compatibility with factory-shaped exterior parts and following the original body’s press lines.

Gachabari Medium 1 S15 Design Notes

For the S15 Silvia, Gachabari Medium 1 uses an approximately 45 mm-wide front configuration and approximately 55 mm-wide rear configuration. The front design is intended to integrate naturally with the S15’s existing body lines rather than appearing like a separate universal overfender. 326POWER specifically highlights the compatibility between the fender shape and the vehicle’s factory press lines, helping the additional width look integrated into the body rather than simply added on top.

45mm Wide Front Fender Design

The Gachabari Medium 1 Front Fender extends approximately 45 mm farther outward than the factory S15 front fender. This allows considerably more aggressive wheel fitment while also giving the front of the car more visual weight. Because an additional 45 mm is substantial, wheel width, offset, tire dimensions, camber, suspension height, steering clearance, and inner-fender clearance should all be considered as part of the same setup rather than selecting the fender independently.

Factory-Replacement Construction

The front Gachabari Medium 1 is a replacement-type fender rather than a cover-style overfender. 326POWER specifically states that it is compatible with the factory bumper and side step. When a factory-shaped bumper is used, the manufacturer states that the bumper and fender are designed to meet properly, allowing the additional width to be incorporated without requiring a completely different bumper design.

Factory Press-Line Integration

326POWER specifically describes the Medium 1 front fender as matching well with the S15’s press lines. This is important because the product adds substantial width while still attempting to preserve the recognizable shape and character of the original S15 body. The wider profile therefore appears integrated into the vehicle rather than relying only on an exaggerated bolt-on overfender appearance.

30mm Front Arch Lip Design

The factory S15 front-fender arch lip is approximately 20 mm, while 326POWER sets the Gachabari Medium front arch lip at approximately 30 mm. The manufacturer intentionally leaves this additional material around the arch so customers can raise the wheel opening further according to their individual ride-height and wheel setup while still retaining a meaningful lip around the edge.

Additional Arch Raise Capability

Unlike the Medium 1 rear fender, which is already positioned approximately 5 mm higher than stock, 326POWER does not specify a preset arch raise for the Medium 1 front fender. Instead, the approximately 30 mm arch-lip thickness allows the installer to determine how much arch raising is required for the individual build. 326POWER notes that even if approximately 10 mm is removed from the lip during arch modification, around 20 mm - the approximate factory amount - can still remain.

Reinforced Arch Area

326POWER states that approximately twice the normal amount of FRP material is used around the wheel-arch area. This reinforcement is intended to provide additional strength in an area that may be cut or reshaped when the arch is raised for a lower ride height or more aggressive wheel fitment. It also gives professional installers more usable material when adapting the fender to the requirements of an individual build.

Factory Bumper and Side Step Compatibility

One of the practical advantages of the Medium 1 front fender is its compatibility with factory-shaped exterior components. 326POWER specifically states that it works with the genuine bumper and side step, and that the fender can be fitted even when the factory bumper is retained. This allows customers to widen the front body without being required to purchase a complete aftermarket bumper and side-aero package at the same time.

Matching Gachabari Medium 1 Rear Fender

326POWER also offers the matching Medium 1 rear fender for the S15 Silvia. The rear version increases body width by approximately 55 mm and raises the rear arch approximately 5 mm compared with stock. A complete Front + Rear Medium 1 configuration is also offered separately. These additional components should not be assumed to be included with this Front Fender listing.

Wheel and Suspension Planning

An additional 45 mm of front body width can significantly change the relationship between the wheel, tire, suspension, and body. Wheel width, offset, tire dimensions, camber, suspension height, steering angle, suspension travel, and inner clearance should therefore be considered before the final installation is completed. The official manufacturer does not specify one required wheel or tire configuration for this fender, so the final fitment should be selected according to the individual vehicle and intended setup.

Installation and Fitment Notes

The Gachabari Medium 1 Front Fender must be test fitted to the actual S15 Silvia before painting. Fender-to-hood alignment, door-side gaps, front bumper transition, side-step relationship, wheel-arch positioning, wheel and tire clearance, steering clearance, and left-to-right alignment should all be checked before final preparation. 326POWER specifically requires test fitting and vehicle-specific alignment adjustment before painting. If mounting-hole positions are difficult to align, the manufacturer recommends making gradual adjustments such as elongated-hole processing during the temporary fitting stage. Additional drilling, trimming, sanding, arch modification, or other body-shop preparation may be necessary depending on the individual vehicle.

Aero Product Notes

The Front Fender is supplied unpainted in a white gel coat finish, and installation and painting are not included. 326POWER specifically confirms the use of additional FRP material around the wheel-arch area, where approximately twice the normal amount is used for reinforcement. The complete fender should be inspected, temporarily fitted, aligned, prepared, and adjusted before final painting. Any intended arch raising should also be completed before the final exterior finish is applied.
