Ricks camaro thirdgen fenders for IROC-Z

My question is that I seen on rickscamaro.com that they sell fenders but I know that or Im pretty sure that iroc fenders or z28 fenders are different from like the rs or just regular camaros cause the iroc or z28s are setup for ground effects. Pretty much my question is has anyone purchased these fenders from ricks camaros for there iroc or does anybody know if I have to do any modifications to them to get them to fit. Please help!!!!!!!

the 89 up RS models have gfx also just fyi. but if you happen across a set without the holes for the gfx a dremel will cut em out in no time.

Well do you think it would be worth it to buy these fenders from ricks I heard that the after market fenders are usually made with not very good metal like it dents easily I'm just not sure

just my personal 2 cents, it depends on what you are doing with the car. is it a daily driver? just a toy to piddle with, or building a prestine show piece? and of course what budget you happen to have.
I put a set of aftermarket fenders on my iroc, think they cost like $40 each. and honestly i couldnt tell a diff looking at them beside the originals just eyeballing em. Happened to fit like a champ and no complaints here.
I may be the 1 in a million though. but my car is just something to piddle with, not a heap my no means but also not a barret jackson piece.

id suggest going to the junk yard and finding some good used fenders. i had an aftermarket fender i tried using. it didnt fit my car at all spent over 5 hours modding it to try to look right and still didnt fit right ended up just getting a used fender fit perfect.

I agree with lmidden. I've had a couple encounters with Bambi and have aftermarket fenders. Took the body shop a week to get one that would fit properly. But as far as denting easily bout any of them will do that cause they aren't made like the 70's back. If you can get some oe fenders do it. I can tell you 91 and 92 fenders have slotted holes instead of round for the front spoiler.
