Default z3 fenders- I know you don't like them but I need your opinion on this.






the story behind them is that I got in a fender bender in downtown minneapolis, it was actually cheaper for two z3 fenders than one OEM fender..not to mention lighter, and made of fiberglass (wont rust). I gave it a shot, and I think it looks pretty decent..BUT it seems like they're not on there correctly! I brought it back to the shop and they told me it's the best they can do. Anybody here have the courage to post a pic of their z3 fenders? I don't think they're installed correctly on my car..also pictures of ANY Z3 fender installs would be apprecaited so I can show these people that this isn't how the install should be done.

UPDATE: The shop I bought them from is now willing to negotiate! I might be getting my $ back and use that to just get OEM fenders! someone PLEASE post pics of a correct z3 install so I can show them they didnt even do it right
Thanks everyone!

something is fishy about those fenders...they dont seem to fit right i have to agree with you....it makes your car "pop-out" from the rest of the car. i would say its a manufacturing problem. what company made them? im not a fan of the z3 fender but ive heard good things about aero-gears

if it was quality it would cost the same as oem. Just like cheap body kits look like ****, that looks like poo too.

take a tylenol, get rid of the headache of dealing with the idiots who put those on. take them off. get rid of them. burn them. go to a junkyard and look for oem fenders or start saving for new ones. drop your car. grab a chick and a beer and live like a king.

I've NEVER seen those fit right. My buddy bought a pair for $30 for his full Race CRX just for grins, they fit like ***! Needless to say he's got some OEM fenders on the way

It's just poor craftsmanship. My buddy has those on his '94 Teg. Fit like *** just like yours. He's try his hardest to get rid of em. Even offering to get them painted for the person who buys them.

OEM =

sprayed fiberglass is never gona fit right. they probably installed them right, it's just the way they are made is really cheap. oh well. you live, you learn. PS drop your car. you will like it much more.
