Got my fenders yesterday, opened the box and was shocked to see literally no packaging to hold the pieces in place safely. My fear of the fenders getting damaged during shipment came true, when I inspected the parts closely. Part of the driver fender is chipped?

I've sent further details to A.J for now, will see how to best handle this. I was hoping to start the fitment and install today, but that'll have to wait now :/.


On another note, I tried going cheap with an FRP, so take my advice, add the extra $'s if you can and buy the CF version instead. In the long run, seeing the quality of these fenders in FRP, I wish I had paid the extra $'s to get the CF versions.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Hopefully everything works out for you. I can't believe it was shipped with the fenders free to move inside.

ETA is around 3-4 weeks as there were some problems with our partner in Florida but it seems everything is fine now. We can offer same price of 550$ pus shipping should be around 150-170$ from Florida to Canada


Thanks for the quick reply, just want to confirm FRB $550.00ea fender and $150-$170 ea to be shipped or total? silly qustions but don't want to send you 1/2 the money lol
Great ETA imo I am not in a rush since the car will be store in less then a month till spring

I agree, I hope you get an answer.

Particularly since I bought them from you instead of directly from CS after seeing that you were so high on the buy list.

Pics not loading.

How was fitment? Did you get the fiberglass version? Any extra work required to make them fit?

Hello 370ZJT,
Yes I went with the fiberglass version which came with a coat of primer from them. There were some minor imperfections in the surface meaning some small bumps and uneven sanding areas however the body shop smoothed them out. The fenders as they come are pretty much ok to just paint and then mount but to make an extra effort to ensure a nice end result with the painting you may want to ask your body shop to apply a thin layer of bondo and then sand to perfection before final paint work. The fenders themselves are very thin so they need to use care when handling. So far mine have held up and there was no major effort on getting them mounted. The only thing I noticed was the gap between the door and the fender is about an 1/8 wider. Not a big deal but it is larger than the stock gap but I guess that is expected with after market parts. Over all they have done well since installed.

I had a local shop near me do the work. Any reputable shop should be able to get close but it will never be exact because painting has a lot a variables to it. Even buying the paint directly from the dealer won't be exact but it you wanted to be sure that would be the way to go in my opinion. I didn't go that path because the paint from the dealer was too expensive so the body shop did their best to get as close as possible. My suggestion would be to get 3 quotes from different places and go with you you feel is the right one. My body shop gave me 5 years warranty on the work. They also worked on the doors a bit to feather in ie:fade in the new paint with the factory paint so it wasn't so obvious.
