Custom Made OEM Fenders, Lightweight front End Options

[BonzaiCelica]

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.

Ok griffgirl you got me convinced Ill just stick with oem fenders, and yes there is no way in hell Im going with Carbonfiber fenders thats way to expensive.

Richee, I'll go the route you suggest me to go. Use my existing fenders and convert them to JDM style fenders. But heres my problem I want the exact measurments so that I get the cut for the sidemarker exactly as it is on a oem style jdm fender. Like how many cm from the top, from the right, left and from the bottom.

Im looking to shave as much weight as possible and I thought that fiberglass fenders would shave about 3-4 pounds on each fender. But from what griffgirl is saying, and she knows what shes talking about it, its probably not worth the hassle. Isnt that what body kits are made of Fiberglass???
