Certi-fit fenders are $35. They look the same and are pretty close in thickness to stock fenders. If you go that route, be prepared to do a LOT of screwing around trying to get them to fit.

There is another vendor that sells them for $55, but I forgot the name. I would definitely go with the $55 fenders after dealing with Certi-fits inability to make things that are close to correct fit.

Yeah, it is metal, just slightly thinner than the stock fender. Its a great price, just be prepared to do a bit of work to make it fit

i would recommend the fenders from YearOne, they are pretty cheap and thinnier like those other ones, but i didnt mess around at all with fitting them in, they fit basically perfectly even though they are considered "aftermarket". Year One has good quality.

I agree about certifit. It takes a long time to get them to fit right. But if you got time and not $ then they will be good for you.
