Re: What about these fenders?

If I was considering buying them... I wouldn't buy them until I see some high definition pics from different angles installed and uninstalled. I would also request the thickness of the material. I would email duraflex and request high definition pics. Also, might not be in too big of a hurry to buy them until some other people have bought them, posted pics and reviews of how they fit. They could be cheap, thin, wrong size, not fit right. Or they could be awesome. You really don't know what you are buying. Its kind of a gamble.

Re: What about these fenders?

I agree, after market fenders are known for fitting poorly. you may want to email the guy from the link that Stephen posted, and see if he can send you some pics of his car with those fenders.

Re: What about these fenders?

Re: What about these fenders?

There are so many of our cars around why not go with something like this to change things up a little bit. Don't get me wrong I love the stock look , but those kind of update the look of our cars. I wish they fit my GTA.

Re: What about these fenders?

... total photoshop, look at the position of the wheel in correlation to the fender, also i have never seen oval shaped wheels before, also if you look closely that fender vent is ALSO shopped in, what a crappy company
