So...I did a photoshop...what do you guys think?

EDIT: oops I guess it was set up so only prems can view it...fixed!

I like it. I like the painted way though.

I like the painted version with the CF accent better than full CF

Are they wider or same width as OEM?

Can you order them without the Z? It looks cramped in there...

I'm pretty sure its an OEM replacement so it should be the same width.
I'm not sure about the "Z" sidemarker

From the pictures i've seen, they make the fender with the holes for the sidemarkers.

I am going to see these installed in a different car in person this weekend, hopefully.

Good on the width, otherwise you'd need to make the rear wider as well.

Maybe the Z looks better in real life

ya i dont think its for a widebody style...i think the part with the sidemarkers is just sunken in...but i'm not 100% sure, i'll be able to make sure when i see it in person this weekend.

i cant see the picture... but if it looks good on that red one im pretty sure it would look 3 times better on a 40th LOL

i dont like exterior mods to be TOO aggressive...so hahaha not a big fan of "pop"

if you like a fender that's really different from stock check out the UAM JGTC style fenders

The only thing I don't like about the UAM ones is that the curve is too sharp, making it like a direct right angle...

That's one of the reasons I went with Carbon Signal. Although it doesn't go all the way down, the curve is more rounded and fitting to the car's lines. Thus a lot "cleaner". Just my opinion though.

Xan · 03-23-2011, 07:51 PM

I see what you're saying... I agree... Takes care of the cramped Z as well.

Dreezy562 · 03-23-2011, 08:30 PM

yeah i think when i was reffereng to the red one it was the carbon signal version whereas the UAM ones look like the same idea just a different shape. i like the carbon signal ones better. the shape looks more natural and less forced, if anyone understands that.

exactly. I fully agree. That's why the Carbon Signal picture you see above is mine.
