Default Anybody tried "Mr. Motorsports" EVO type fenders on AMAZON.COM??

Found these on amazon.com. $149 for a pair. Look like the same ones on ebay. Anybody tried them??? Also they have the SLR style for the same price.
Shipping to me in KY is about $40.

at least the shipping chart is not crazy as you buy it from Ebay.

I'm feelin you. I couldn't believe when I did the search and body kits came up. Most prices were high, but this is cheep. They had the Veilside knock off V1 Sideskirts for $200. These fenders at less than $200 shipped might be the trick. I may do the plunge, just ordered the Gruppe-S aerosync bumper, these could be fitted and painted at the same time.

Yeah, the ebayers use the shipping to hide the true sale price from ebay fees.

In addition, I keep seeing used Z parts go for more than retail prices. Drives me crazy.

I also saw that they had the bumper bar (the bumper behind the fascia) both in steel and aluminum. I had no idea that it came in steel. Is that aftermarket only or did some Zs ship with steel?

I really wanted carbon - but the price and lack of lighter weight ones have driven me to this. Yes, for sure the openings would have to be bigger.

Thought your fenders were 10mm wider? How well did they fit?

You should be a diplomat. Your talents are wasted here. ;-]

BTW, I'm on spring break right now, and my birthday is on Friday, St. Paddy's Day, so maybe, just maybe, I will buy these fenders for myself.

I heard that on the fitting. Blue blockers, I have to give some thought. As for the oil cooler, I am stymied as the fitment of the Laminova cooler is a bear. There just isnt any room to fit it that I can find. The smallest one could possibly fit on the lower hose, but it might not be enough, I hate to waste the effort. I found this oil cooler that could go above the bumper bar or at the bottom of the grille area, but I thought someone posted on here that this type of cooler is not good for the Z. Take a look, it is the DB-30816, 28"x3 1/2" x3 1/2". What are your thoughts Cheston? Got to get one soon. Sorry to myself for going off topic.

is there space to put that inside the fender, and since u have a vent, it might flow out and allow adequate cooling.. just wont be as effective as putting that thing in the front of the nose for maximum air flow-.

our IC is pretty much over kill anyway when it comes to the amount of boost we're running.. i think if u put in infront of the IC, you'll be ok..

you dont want to cut the aerosync do you?
