Opinions please
Thursday, February 28, 2008 6:33 AM
Hello,
I currently have the steel Z3 fenders on my 01 cavy. But with steel comes rust, which these are unfortunately doing...I want to replace them with some fiberglass ones, or
poly fiber.

I have a fiberglass invader hood, fiberglass eyelids, Wings West lip kit, and want to know some recomendations for fenders that will flow well with the car. I have seen a few styles, but I know there are TONS more. I am also looking for something that has good fitment, that people have succesfully installed with little/no modification to fit correctly. PIcs or links would help me out.

Thanks in advance...

if your fenders are rusting, just sand it down and do some rust prevention.

if you want a different style, just look around and see what you like. i used to like the F1s myself.

but stock is a much cleaner look. if you want a stock flow w/o a stock part, pick up some toyota fenders.

I just want something that will flow good with my other exterior mods, and looking for suggestions. Once rust happens, its always there is the background. I would rather replace than repair when it comes to rust....so this is a good oportunity for me to change the styling up a bit. I have seen some F1's...not bad, looking for something I haven't seen yet hopefully.

^^^ actually thats x3...

I will agree that a lot of the fenders out there are pretty ricey, which is why I was hoping for some pictures. The fiberglass z3's are horrid, I do like my steel ones (except for the rust), but they are a lot different than the fiberglass ones. Just looking for some other options....Since it has been suggested several times, where is a good place to source the toyo fenders?

lots of dealerships wont let you order them because they are listed as "export only" in their computer. thats why GMD is used. and on their site, last time i checked, they were like 125 each, or somewhere around there. so not too bad when compared to 150-200 for cheap glass aftermarket fenders.

Well cheap glass fenders are like $35 plus $150 shipping....let me guess if those fit...

Thats not TO bad a price at all, especially for OEM fitment. If I remember correctly the toyo's have side marker lights, and slightly flared wheel wells correct? Anyone happen to have a good set of pics? I did a search, found a few, but would always like more.

Thanks for the suggestions....any more feel free to chime in.

Side marker lights are the same as used on the Saab 900

of course shipping is extra on top of those ^^^ prices, but still pretty good. so you can spend $185 for cheap ass glass fenders or a little over $250 for OEM parts from GM.

this pic is jay's and was in another post about toyos.




good stuff.
