Aerojacket V1 Fenders Question

axmea? · 01-03-2015, 01:29 AM

It should fit. Those who converted to Nismo bumpers on OEM fenders had no issues so converting from stock fenders to aftermarket fenders should fit. Cooltoy showed pics to point it out.

I'm also confused, is it CS or AJ? Your subject lines are conflicting. Try to PM CS or AJ to see what suggestions they have for proper fit.

Ok let me clear some things up in here...

Nismo and regular 370z have the same fenders. This is fact and is undisputable. I personally worked with aerojacket to develop the UAM and aerojacket fenders. All of our fenders were based off of a metal 370z fender.

All of our fenders fit. There were a few that had issues due to a mold warping.

To the OP's point this isn't the first I have heard of this fitment issue. I will leave my comments on the CS product at that. I hope the op has taken pictures of the issue and sent them off to CS. Hopefully, they will send you replacement fenders.

Yes, sorry I originally was going to get carbon signal but didn't want to wait as long and got AeroJacket. I was multi tasking too much when I made the post. So tried to correct. My bad.

But yes, I messaged AeroJacket about fitment. They claim it is suppose to go right on with no problems. This has been a nightmare. .. finally got them on after working with it for hours. . Not the best, but on. . Now where you bolt lights into is way off... going to have to fabricate some to make it work. Ugh longest project now so far.. taking car apart was the easiest... was excited for oem fitment :/

ZLady · 01-03-2015, 12:37 PM

And yea. I verified fender size and everything. Same code. Honestly it was so off I wanted to make sure I wasnt crazy...

ZLady · 01-03-2015, 12:42 PM

Will post pics when I get to a computer. Phone won't do it

cooltoy · 01-03-2015, 12:46 PM

I would take it to the body shop if I were you. From what I have read a bunch of sending will need to be done to get it to fit like OEM.

ZLady · 01-03-2015, 01:02 PM

Yea. I would of never bought them had i know this.

Luciano13 · 01-05-2015, 12:27 PM

All aftermarket fenders are like this, or any fiberglass molds. There is always some shaving to make fit perfect. And you still will never get 100% oem perfect.

cooltoy · 01-05-2015, 01:15 PM

I agree.

But considering OEM fitment isn't that great................

TerribleONE · 01-05-2015, 01:25 PM

They couldn't even send me an interior kit that fit, so no surprise here. Hope you get your money back or a new set of fenders, I never did.

Yup.. I messaged them on here and they were like they should fit no problem because OEM...

ok... well I messaged you saying they DO NOT fit to OEM and told them exactly where the problems where... what do you expect. NO RESPONSE. I will no be recommending them at all... Such a shame.

Luckily my IT guy knows how to do fabrication work and can help me.

I wasn't expecting OEM perfect. But shouldn't be as off as they are. Drivers side where you bolt the right side of the light is off by over a half inch. I cannot stretch it to fit because it would be way too tight and break the moment I hit a bump. So now have to do some fiberglass work to extend and drill new holes once that's finished. I know the gaps etc are expected with carbon though. Just many hours... wont be buying Aerojacket again.

Yea. After like 9 hours fighting with this stupid thing.. I am hoping once i fabricate this part it will be the end of it. Or I will probably get more pleasure out of blowing them up hahaha. Will post when home this afternoon.

bullitt5897 · 01-05-2015, 02:00 PM

Zlady did you reach out to aerojacket? I know they send replacements if there is an issue... Maybe you should call them and talk to them before you modify the fenders and can't send them back...
