606, Z3 Fenders
Posted by mikee97gs, Jan-03-01 07:56 AM
Does anyone know where I can get some Z3 fenders, and have them in by around January 16? I have been looking everywhere and nobody has them.

Does anyone know anything about the inserts...Are they worth it? I heard they can make your whole fender crack if installed wrong.
Anyone have any experience with them?

www.importfan.com sells the fenders email ted and ask, i think they are like $300 shipped. Call around the shops that sell body kits. check www.groupbuycenter.com . The fenders would be cheaper than to buy the $100 gills and than having them installed. The replacement are fiberglass and probaly need a little sanding or cutting to make fit just right. I also heard that just the gills in your stock fender will crack so i suggest you go with the replacement fender.

the inserts arent worth the risk. the fender is designed to be mounted under extreme tension, meaning the fender pulls against itself when mounted, so by cutting a whole in it decreases its strength and may cuase it to split.
