Look like a ings style fender

You can pick up a similar set off eBay

IMO.... Fly1 RS2 fenders are better looking (to me) because the rear vent is the full height of the panel whereas INGS’ rear vent always reminded me of an unwanted growth. 🤡 Kind of an afterthought.

Just my personal opinion....

Wow that was fast, thanks for the quick info!

Wonder if the side marker was filled in or if another company made knockoffs without the light. These seem to be fairly old and mostly discontinued, time for some more google research.

Eh, stock fenders over all others. No need to cheapen the look of the car with poor fitting aftermarket body panels.

Just going to make a disclaimer that Fly1 basically ripped off the design from the JDM scene. I think someone by the name DOME or N'one makes the original I believe, Brain Mccain would know the details.

Just had to throw that out there.
But yes, I do agree about the RS2 design being more of a completed finished product (more aggressive too) than the ING style fender.
However Amuse fender is beautiful as well.

Thanks for clarifying. I wouldn't know any of this. Stock body for me. But I've seen the Fly1s on a buddy's Z34. But I guess if I were going to do something like that, I'd choose the Fly1 or whatever the original is.

I do like the Rs2 design of fly1. I did not know it was copied. When you say "ripped off the design from JDM scene" do you mean that they just took a fender off another vehicle and made it for the Z? or did this other company DOME or whatever have the RS2 design first? ...if that makes any sense at all

Ok, so the full story on this question is that they belong to someone else and on a salvage vehicle. I wanted to know if it made more financial sense to replace both with factory (which I prefer) or to get one of these (RH side).

I went to see the vehicle on Monday this week and found they are some custom made fenders by the "cut and patch in" job that was done on them. This car is in need of serious work to undo what the previous own has done, including these painted yellow-green rims, mirrors, fiberglass bumper, smoke smell, and wiring mess. Introduction thread and photos to come soon. Won the auction about an hour ago and will be picking up the car this coming Monday 3-2, excited!!

I'm impressed you can see imaginary frame damage from those blurry photos.

Where do you see that? Because the primary damage says front end? Maybe there is something I missed but I don't think so. Car looked straight when I went up to look at it last Monday.
