Default Fiberglass fenders: WHY Z3?!

I'm looking for a replacement driver's side fender and they look to run around a hundred bucks. But, another thing I've seen is all the Z3 fiberglass fenders which are a hundred bucks a pair.

Why can't I get OE style fiberglass fenders for $100? This doesn't make sense. The only place I found OE style fiberglass fenders, they where $250 for a pair.

Is it possible to buy the Z3 fenders and just cover up the section with the slats in it(Z3 style portion). How hard would this type of fiberglass work be. I've done plenty of bondo work before, but never fiberglass. Can I just bondo it?

AHAHAHAH

Your wish is my command. I have z3 fenders on my rex and I love em. I still have my OEM ones. There silver and in sick good condition minus a few paint bubbles around the edges which you could easily grind off. The passenger one is pretty dinged up with small dents but you dont even need it so would you take just the driver side. Pm me if youre interested

cut the slats out... grab some fiberglass mat and resin from PepBoys - apply a few layers front and back. Then sand like a mother. All done...

If they're fiberglass OEM style I'm interested, otherwise I'll just go the route sparq suggested.
thanks sparq.

I'll try to find the link, but I just found it searching on google. Some shop in florida, does all kind of fiberglass parts. Mantaray motorsports does them as well I think.

I'm just going with the Z3 style fenders. I figure I'll just shave them. Much much cheaper.
