Default what should I do?

sup fellas, I am in the process of getting my em1 ready for the booth. Does anyone know of a company that offers good oem fenders at a good price that wont fit like poop when you put them on. Genuine Honda fenders are like 170 each and thats a liittle more than I wanted to spend. I also wanted to know is it easier to cut the lip inside the fender (to avoid rubbing) or is it better to roll them? I will be cutting the rear and was just gonna cut the fenders as well before I put them on the car.

better to rolll the fenders

and your best bet is the junk yard if 170 is too expensive for OEM fenders or you can get shitty fiberglass fenders that will crack

Partstrain.com, fenders are like 60$ each, but they get you with shipping.

oem fender for a good price.......hmmm...no such thing my friend. you have to get a aftermarket one and try align it to fit as good as possible or get a used one from the junk thats still in good condition. and the same with the bumper. good luck to you.
