HURRY!!!! if you say the fitment is good enough to just bolt on, im ording a pair for me...
well guys got some good news and some bad news. the good news is that they will fit pretty easily just bolting on! the bad news is that in my wreck the driver side wheel well was shifted about 6 inches out so it doesnt fit. but hopefully i can get that fixed.

I got mine in the mail today, they look awesome. they not only have the z3 gills, but have the two slots near the door which im excited about to see how it looks.
spedtoe: they weigh ~6 lbs, i dont have an accurate scale, just weighed myself, and then weighed myself holding fender >smile.gif>

I will get some pics of it uninstalled as soon as i get a digi cam from someone.
I'm just sad that i can't install them due to me totalling my car last week >frown.gif> whole front frame is damaged, so i cant even rig it on there. i might be selling these really soon to save up some money for new car.

i also wanna add that the box that these came in had VIS Racing Sports all over it, so i suppose they were made by VIS and cyberbestbuy got the fenders from them?
if you do sell them, you probably want what you paid for for them... but if you drop the price a little, let me know >biggrin.gif> ... i need some, but moneys a little tight right now... the money i do have is going to fix my sunroof.... and try to quote shippment to 06241 for me... thanks...
I am getting these. these rock

Does it like like you can take the z3 part outta the fender, What i mean is can you fill it in. Because i am only wanting these to make molding the front on more stable. . . .the vents toward the back look kicka$$ though.
if you are familiar with fiberglass, you could fill in the z3 gills, but if not, you can get any body shop to fill it in for you
yea, thats one reason why i liked these fenders is bc i wanted to mold front bumper to the fender, and these fenders would have a more durable connection, fiberglass to fiberglass..not fiberglass to metal
i think i will be order those in about a month or two.. i really like the look

Yeah, those look really badass, I'm definetly gonna get some. As for the molding goes, I always loved the way it looks but you're screwed if you need to get to something behind the bumper, but if you've got fiberglass fenders and front bumper, then you can probably rig it all up to come off like a one-piece racing front end would. That would be really sweet and much more practical.
What i am going to do is mold it as a solid piece, and if you mold fiberglass to fiberglass, you can take it off as a solid piece without worring about cracking like you would with fiberglass to metal. The only inside bolt behind the bumper holding the fender on is reachable underneath the car if it's jacked up anyway, so no worries about taking it on and off as a solid piece.
i just ordered mine tonight from cyberbestbuy. they should be here in 7-10 days and will be installed that same day, ill post pics when im done, i also got the hood scoop from them too...
I finally got them, and they are on sooner or later i am going to get some pics up.
The z3 part looks nice once installed and painted, even with outta the can paint. . . i have to get my car finish so i can get do a real paint job instead of this outta the can crap, lol. >smile.gif>
SWEET! >biggrin.gif> I can't wait to see what the Z3's look like with a black combat kit.
looks like crap right now, the combat fitment is even worse with these fenders. but oh well another weekend in the garage and it should be taken care of.
i think the combat kit would look tons better if one cut the sides of it so it butted up against the fender, instead of overlapping the fender all the way back to the wheel well...
well you could do that if the combat didn't sit 1 to 2 inches lower than the fender it'self. If your molding the combat on it wouldn't be that hard to do, But i dunno if it'd look right once done.
i just dont think it looks right overlapping IMO....
