How was the fitment on the fenders-Rear and front?

Not a loaded question but just looking for your opinion-Given the amount of work and time and cost required to make this all work, if you had to do it over again would you buy the replica or authentic?

Btw the authetic is listed for $3500 + another $1800 for both sets of fenders

 

yeah and theres a hella long waiting list for authentics still isn't there?

 

yes the waiting list is quite long.

I would go authentic next time, i am lucky that I have a really good body guy. I had went to a mediocre shop like so many are, I am sure it would end up looking terrible.

The front fenders needed to be fixed as well as the rear overfenders. The whole kit was garbage, the basic issue was that they pulled it from the mold too early and gravity took hold and warped all the parts.

I will say this, my body guy said that just because a kit is authentic and expensive doesn't mean its has good fitment. He said that he put a kit on a car that cost 10K and the fitment was so bad he had to cut the panels in half and add 3 inches of material all the way around to make the kit fit properly. It was on a really expensive car, I dont remember the name. I think it was a NSX.

 

so your saying no matter what u get or what you pay for, it's all about the shop's skill?

ANyways, where are Z pICS??!?!??!?!

 

^^ ive heard that before... like that allot of the older jp authentic pieces had horrible fitment but its gotten better.

Authentic doesnt always mean better

 

YUP!!! its a good thing my shop kicks ***!!!


Barnie, cant wait till we are the 2 widebody brothers in MD

 

hopefully not too much longer!!!

 

Make with the pics! lol...mine will be done in about two weeks and then I'll let you know how the fitment of my wheels are man.

 

I took some quick pics today, I will take some better pics at a meet on saturday if the weather holds. This should tie you over for now. It looks awesome.

YEAH! More pics...I want to see this in person.

If you end up taking some pics let me know, I'll come on down as well, got my car back yesterday. Just give me a time and place...unless your looking for solo pics since you finally got your baby back

 

I was thinking UCF Parking Garage or somewhere on campus when the traffic is gone, or out by where I took my pics with chris on that landing in baldwin park.

Just have to see how the weather plays out this week. I know I am going to take some pics sat at cars and cafe

 

just let me know man..these solo shoots get old.

 

agreed, will do

 

a set of 18x10 x 18x12 -10/-12 3p meisters in gloss black with gold rivets.
your car has serious rock star potential.

also... gotta get the real deal mesh - it's a shame ill350z has been taking
so much time to ship.

win sir.

 

Thanks, real deal mesh? Me? The mesh I have is powder coated, its top of the line.

18's thats kinda small dont ya think with such a large wheel well.

 

I just wish time wasnt short, i have an aswesome deal on some work rims and tein suspension and some Greedy Grex BBK's being thrown at me, however i leave next friday for hawaii and i dont have time to sell my stuff to buy his.

 

It looks nasty!!!!!! congrats! cant wait to see it on Saturday, make sure u get there early due to parking... The works would look awesome on there!!!!!

 

finally, looks very sick just like you said it would a few months back bro.

 

you need wheels man. Check your PM's

Car looks nice, like me I see you coughed up for the appropriate rear spoiler.
Is it just the light in the pics that make some of those shut lines look alittle off??
