Ok guys well Im in no rush to do this to my car just yet but I want to get an idea of how this will work.

-Having some JDM fenders shipped to my door will be too expensive. So I was thinking of having some fiberglass fenders made for the celica that have the fitting for the JDM and Euro Sidemarkers. And some are saying why not use existing fenders to make them into jdm fenders. Well....

All aftermarket fenders for the celica have weird cuts/slits in them to dissapate air or w/e and it just looks dumb. Im looking for purpose becuase I want lightweight fenders but Im not to convinced that fiber glass fenders are durable enough to where I can buff and wax them without them denting or being pushed in. Am I just being paranoid or is this what really happens??

As far as a carbon fiberhood, since I will be painting that the same color as the rest as the car, I can purchase the cheapest one and it wont matter becuase the shop will sand down the clear coat put a layer of bondo and then paint the hood with paint. So it doesnt matter the quality of the carbon fiberhood from the place I buy it from.

Turn your USDM spec fenders to JDM spec fenders like I did. It's surely the cheapest and the fender are light anyways. Getting carbon fiber fender is in fact lighter but will not be worth it god forbid you get into a accident and damage them or some hitting them themselves. A lot of $$$ down the oil drain.
