(dont mind the first response. was to a different question, but didnt wanna spam up the forums)
So I am going to make some z3 fenders, well the top vents anyhow, with my stock fenders  I got (thanks to four-eyed-freak) all the measurements I need for the fender, and a very well detailed pic (I feel like i should leave him feedback lol). I am just wondering if anyone has ever done this before? I basically will be cutting (included a pic, because its kinda hard to explain) a "3 sided square" (yeah that made sense in my head  ) and bending the metal in, liquid nail the mesh in the right spot, then bondo the edges so it looks like its supposed to.I dont think it will be too hard, but if anyone has suggestions, im all ears  I will be making the fenders like ajmorris's, have been talking it over with him. So I am not making the side vents on the fenders like the z3, already have another plan for that . hopefully the progress really starts soon, and the supra SS get here:)

I have reason to believe they're custom - I've never seen the separated pattern like that, only fenders with a single large vent.
No reason to defend your taste man, some people like kits, others like flow, others like OEM - personally I'll be adding a lip kit and non-oem side skirts in the future, but they all flow together. Whereabouts in NY are you by the way? At some point we could meet up for a photoshoot or something once you get that paint job done. --------------------  |

Yeah I had gotten an eribuni 404 kit when i first got my car, but just didnt like it. Always loved the "aggressive" look...was always what i saw around my town when i was little
Well im all the way in albany lol, but i dont mind drivin a bit. There a few other people that id like to meet and get a good shoot in with like Novak. But my car wont be done till like next month. Got alot of projects to finish on her hoping to get a few more measurements of the z3 and start that very soon
