    Doing my own z3 fenders

    I am getting z3 inserts, for hella cheap, like $20. We are going to pull my fenders, cut the hole and glass the inserts into the fenders.
    I know there have been posts bout z3 fenders lately, this way I know the fenders will fit. ( not shitty fitting fiberglass!!!!)
    Should be hott, for a fraction of glass fenders. I'll let you guys know how they work, and how many hours a body shop SHOULD charge.

    Just get a dremel an cut some [ [ [ slots in the fenders and push the tab in and put some paint on it and it will save a bunch of money. I think millitarymase did this to his famous electron blue 3g accord.

    alrighty guys. enough whoring. the point of this post was that he's going to put them on his car. Everybody is going to have opinions about what looks good or not. Keep your smart remarks to yourself d00ds.

    Thread cleaned up and BS removed. For those of you that had threads removed they were either not pertinent to the thread or didn’t make sense after the BS was removed.

    Chicane and Mike...

    You 2 need to steer clear of each other and stop antagonizing each other. On that note to can both consider yourselves warned. Any more BS and someone will be taking a little vacation. Mike, if we wanted you to moderate the board we'd make you a mod. Take it for what its worth

    ddude2uc, Do you have some kind of hero trip or what? Please mind your own business. It’s getting a little old seeing you trying to come to everyone else’s rescue and involving yourself in things that aren’t your concern. As I told Mike, if we wanted you to moderate the board we'd make you a mod. Consider yourself warned as well.

    I have a question... why everything remotely critical of this mod removed, and everything positive was left? I'm not trying to tell you how to moderate, but it seems kinda biased in the fact that it now looks like we all blow sunshine up each other's ying yangs. Just a question...

    I think I summed up why things were removed in the post I made.

    I am not questioning your intelligence nor am I questioning your literacy. If you had read my earlier post the answer would be clear as to what was removed and why.

    Comments about adding a wing or stickers, calling a persons car rice, giving YOUR definition of rice, or trying to intentionally aggrivate people have nothing to do with a person starting a thread about a z3 fender mod.

    If you don’t like the way the board is run then feel free to post elsewhere


    Just an answer.


    This thread has drifted off enough. If ANYONE, not just the 3 members I previously mentioned have a problem with cleaning it up OR cracking down on whats been going on feel free to speak to me persoanlly. My PM box has pleanty of free space

    ALRIGHT, finally moving on these. I ended up buying BRAND NEW cappa certified fenders to do this so I won't have any down time. Got one cut and into the fender today, should do final body work tomorrow and get it in primer.
    Ho fing ra!!!
    Anyway, I'm going to have ddude2uc host pis later so you guys can see it. Let me know what you think.

    That one is done and in primer right now. I would say we put an hour and a half in the one fender.
    We are actually talking about selling these, so if anyone is interested in all metal z3 fenders let me know. We can even send them PAINTED ready to bolt on, these are Cappa certified fenders also. Which means they will fit like oem.
