Ahhhh yes but don't forget these are Do-Luck styled. I don't remember if they had OEM ones, but take a look at the lines.
Won't really do too much as far as structure. Its an Over-fender (essentially one big overlay for the rear quarter) Its more for looks then anything else. But they do look good!
If their is a big interest in some OEM styled overlays or something more radical just PM me or say so here. Were looking for some new parts to design. Only thing is you can't really have an fender that is rolled but maybe we can figure something out.

It takes a body shop that does large custom jobs. The original fender needs to be cut and in small sections then fitted then cut and re-adjusted. I was going this route for my full CF build but will have the originals rapped instead after diggin into specifics with the only full CF Z on the forum.

The main things I wanted more details on is the parts on the overfenders that "overlap" at the edges. Like the part that would tuck in between the tail light and the actual fender and the part that would wrap into the seam of the rear part of the door and the actual fender there. I'm sure it sounds confusing, but if you had the fenders, you should know what I'm talking about. I'm thinking those parts can be trimmed off so it doesn't interfere with the fitment of the tail lights and the operation of the doors. I'm not sure if the overfenders also wrap into the seam of the hatch and actual fenders but I will take a look. If the parts fit fine with the overfenders going into those seams, then it will be easy to work the original fender and rivet on the overfender. I would just like to get an idea of what to tell the bodyshop to do to it to fit it rather than them charging me a bunch of hours to figure it out.

it would seem that these overlapping fenders would need to be trimmed, meaning that in the previous pictures there was fitment issues. for example most after market fenders say that trimming is needed to have better fitment.
