Damn...you are Krazy!!! Looks hella sweet!

Cut the fender vents out though...I hate when people leave them filled in.

looks good man. How was the fitment on those fenders?
I just got a set, and they fit like absolute crap. Did you have to remove the corner light brackets? It looks like you used the factory brackets.
Also, how was the fitment along the top rail? Mine are completely angled wrong, and I'm contemplating my fix. Unfortumately, this is my first venture with fiberglass body parts. I have always customized using metal (fab, weld, cut, etc), and I'm looking for some help from someone experienced in fiberglass.

They fit like @!#$ but I modified it all and if you look close enough they are flared. The vents are cut out

I cut out all the fiber glass mounting brackets and where the mount to the car and replaced it with the metal off of a stock cavy fender. Ifound the fiberglass cracked everytime I went to install them, so I replaced it with metal.
