Default Yay or Nay?? to these fenders

Story behind it is that a dodge ram 3500 dully truck hit my driver side fender and my fender got damaged pretty bad. Nissan is charging me $307 for just that fender.

Should I get these for around the same price or they look a little ricy and should stay with original?

any one has pics of these installed in there car?

Nah, don't like that rounded opening on the side. But if you like it, go for it.

Nice I never saw these. Only ones I saw where the seibon ones and the carbon looked kinda grey..

There is two problems with the carbon fiber:

1. is that I dont have anything that is carbon fiber in my car and if i did want to start doing carbon fiber all i would do is the hood roof and hatch.

2. Iam on a $1000.00 budget, which I need to buy fender and plan on getting the nismo v2 relpica with the rest of the cash and my autotecknic eyelids.

mods I currently have:

black housed headlights (06 model)
pioneer avic n3
25%tints
used to have eyelids but got jacked

I'd say go with the carbon fiber ones and paint them, or leave them like that, but then again it's up to you man.

The first one's are kinda nice...I'd like to see them on an otherwise stock bodied Z. And a full shot of the car would be nice.

How about spend a little more on the real thing like ING's fenders. And I do not support vendor that uses other vender's pics as an illustration of their own kit, like Chaseaero. Chaseaero=fail.

my guess, you would probably spend more getting these to fit right and look good vs gettin the right thing the first time and being spot on. but thats just me. personally I would go with either the stock ones, or get the carbon ones myself rather than risk gettin a sh!tty part.

Since production numerous installation has been done without any issue, therefore fitment is guaranteed.
I personally think it's the best looking aftermarket fender out there. Just because it's replica on eBay, doesn't necessary mean the fitment is going to be off. He does have a fitment guarantee, so if it's off, return it. Simple

You should be the first in our community to install them, and let us know how it fits!
