Default I got a fender problem

Hey guys My car needs a whole new dog house (bumper, hood and both fenders) I have been checking around and the best deal I can find is on the "metal z3 fenders" off ebay.. with shipping i can get a set of those for about 120... For just regular fenders (oem knock offs) im looking at like 160 .. does anybody know where the price diffrence is comming from ? I dont want z3 fenders but its almost worth the 40 $ diffrence ..... Thoughs ?

PS the car is a 93 hb

get certifit. Most people are running those parts and they look oem. vtecvoodoo, myself, Thunderlips, and I believe Tom has a certifit hood.

Fenders are 23 bucks, bumpers are 30, and hoods are like 45

you never know with the knock offs. if this 93 is your beater racecar, go with the knockoffs. but if you want it to look its best, get OEM. OEM is about 170 bucks each side. click here

Somebody posted the addy and phone number to a shop in VA (I think), that shipped Certifit parts. It should come up in a search. I've heard that very few shops will ship though.

The rear bumper I got was warped from the way it was stacked. I didn't want to drive another 4 hour round trip for 30 bucks, so I fixed it with a heat gun...here's the link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=356496

My front bumper fits WAY better. Here's some pics...





There ya go!

Z3 fender are nasty. I'm telling you that you'll regret it. A small amount that you can save can cause you discontentment. Unless you like them go for it.

Also I had a bad front and rear bumper and a hood. Basically they are unalligned. I bought new front and rear bumpers for $290 and just had a yellow paint job at Earl Schieb. Cost was $540. Paint was ok but not perfect. Bumpers were aligned but the hood is not. Its not noticable though. Overall I'm happy with my car eventhough it has some disallignment. I'm not entering it in show. At least its decent.

I called certifit today, and they have fenders for like 22.xx
Im gonna need driver side because of dent, and passanger side because the one i have has holes for side moldings, when the door doesnt (because i have a CX)
I am gonna get a hood and front bumper too. Any idea if they sell Headlights too?
If they do, how do they look compared to OEM and how much are they?
