Fender Modifications

Hey all,

Any here have modified fenders (a la the bmw z3 or buick lacern) with vents?

If so, please post pics, because I just got new fenders and am considering putting something like that on, and I would like to see what people out there have done and if it would look like i was thinking it would.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

-Tim-

Re: Fender Modifications

You could always transplant the Firebird vents. You use anything else, especially B(ight)M(y)W(eenie) vents, and you've landed SQUARE in ***** land!

yep, I've got the 80-81 Z fender vents...wished I wouldn't have installed them...but oh well. I'm going to eventually install the factory fenders back on...not really a big issue.

www.up22.com

These are available..

Some like this company some don't..

Seems like all glass fenders need some modification to fit right though, even hoods..

Re: Fender Modifications

I think that I will just leave them plain.

Maybe, sometime down the line I may do something custom, but for now, I'll leave them alone. Thanks everyone for the input and help
