Like the title states, has anyone had any experience with non manufacture fenders? (I.E. fitments with any part of the non OEM fender)
The fenders I am referring to are NOT the flashy E-bay fenders, but OEM replacement ones. This post has been edited by bizzerk: Jan 21, 2011 - 2:33 AM --------------------  |

Yeah. They don't fit very well. But I didn't feel like paying almost $400 for an UNPAINTED oem fender. So I dealt and got an oem replacement fender painted for $280.

It's kind of sunken in near the door/a-pillar, by a few mm. and it almost touches the hood by the low beam, alos by about 2 mm. I can deal with it QUOTE (4-eyed-freek @ Jan 18, 2011 - 10:49 PM) they suck.. i dont want to change your mind but you will like your car beter with oem that fiberglass crap! it sucks.. and fitment is a pain The one I got was sheet metal like the OEM ones are. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

QUOTE (EKAn @ Jan 19, 2011 - 1:00 AM) try car-part.com I tried them too. Still too expensive for an unpainted fender. Yeah man, best bet is to wait around for a good used one that's your color or a cheap enough different colored one. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
