    Hell, it's better than dropping a few grand so someone else can do it. Nice job!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Looking good Jerry! Looks like the shaved the side mouldings like the ones my hatch. I think it looks the best that way. I like the Z3 fenders too. They are way lighter than stock. You painting it yourself too?

    I cut small strips of 16 guage sheet metal and tack welded one side then trimmed the other to fit in the hole then welded them shut. I then ground down the welds smooth. put several thin coat's of bondo sanded them to a smooth finish. sprayed them with 2 coats of filler primer sanded back down then put a darker coat then sanded to reveal low spots.

    Re: body work! photo's

    I took off my z3 fenders when i took off my bodykit, im trying to decide wether or not i want to put them on or not. Im not sure what it will look like when i get it painted black. If anyone is good at photoshopping make his car black so i can see what it will look like. I know what you mean when you say they were a PITA to put on. When are you planning on painting it or having it painted?

    the plate isn't just spot welded on. it's welded all the way around.

    oh ok....naw its just that fiberglass is waterproof. and bondo is not. but if you got a good seal all the way around its good...cuz that means you wont leak...and if it leaks bondo is like a sponge and it will soak up the water and it will expand till your paint cracks...it happen to me so thats why i know
