Alright, I bought this Del Sol, that I've been trying to patch up and fix.
Well, front end was mangled, however, and I am fixing it up.
Well, I can't seem to find OEM fenders, for a decent price, and because this is a beater, I just want some fenders to call it a day.
If I get Z3 fenders, can I bondo it to oem, I mean I know I can, but how hard is the job?
thanks anybody with any experience

 

do you mean using bondo to shave the lines/holes out of the z3 fenders?

 

You talking about covering up the gills?

 

LoL, yes thats exactly what I mean.
Funny how you put it though.

 

I did that. Is your Z3 a pop in type (like you could pop the grill in and out) or is it a molded in one?

Pregrilled, make a piece of sheetmetal the size of your hole and tack it on. After that just use a little bit of bondo to straight it out. Your going to want a little bit of a bend in the metal as well.

Molded, i suggest (doesnt mean you need to do it like this) cutting off the grill, make a hole and then redo the welding.

If for whatever reason is fiberglass then take a grinder/DA/Power sander and grind down the grill til its smooth, then grab some fiberglass and put it on the underside of the fender, then bondo the top.

Good luck.

 

Luserkid pretty much covered it all. Here are some OEM's for about $60 a piece http://www.hondapartspro.com/c...CIVIC

yea the del sol's fenders are still 170 on that web site......60 is for a civic, no sol...I say junkyard.......if they even have a sol

I'll take the risk on rice fenders, i mean for the price you can't compare.
you're buying the same ****

Aftermarket fenders never fit quite right.

 

true, but if you can get a pair of rice ones for 100 for THE PAIR, and del sols are so hard to find, i'll take the gamble.
Besides its a beater, with a b16, nothing worth nothing for
even certifit bumpers are 100 each
