I like it. I like the painted way though.

:iagree: I like the painted version with the CF accent better than full CF

Are they wider or same width as OEM?

Can you order them without the Z? It looks cramped in there...

I'm pretty sure its an OEM replacement so it should be the same width.
I'm not sure about the "Z" sidemarker

From the pictures i've seen, they make the fender with the holes for the sidemarkers.

I am going to see these installed in a different car in person this weekend, hopefully.

Good on the width, otherwise you'd need to make the rear wider as well.

Maybe the Z looks better in real life :tup:

ya i dont think its for a widebody style...i think the part with the sidemarkers is just sunken in...but i'm not 100% sure, i'll be able to make sure when i see it in person this weekend.

i cant see the picture... but if it looks good on that red one im pretty sure it would look 3 times better on a 40th LOL

Dreezy562 03-23-2011 06:15 PM

i dont like exterior mods to be TOO aggressive...so hahaha not a big fan of "pop"

if you like a fender that's really different from stock check out the UAM JGTC style fenders

Nitrouz 03-23-2011 06:19 PM

The only thing I don't like about the UAM ones is that the curve is too sharp, making it like a direct right angle...

That's one of the reasons I went with Carbon Signal. Although it doesn't go all the way down, the curve is more rounded and fitting to the car's lines. Thus a lot "cleaner". Just my opinion though.

Xan 03-23-2011 06:51 PM

I see what you're saying... I agree... Takes care of the cramped Z as well.

yeah i think when i was reffereng to the red one it was the carbon signal version whereas the UAM ones look like the same idea just a different shape. i like the carbon signal ones better. the shape looks more natural and less forced, if anyone understands that.

exactly. I fully agree. That's why the Carbon Signal picture you see above is mine. ;)

Imo I think painting it completely would look the best.

I believe some people will like CS one and some UAM as both are nice.

When CarbonSignal were doing the prototype on my car they kept with upper part curvey more like Superleggera not too much angle as Nitrouz said, so that its sits slightly far from the door line. IMO Z marker looks better in CD fenders as it sits in the middle.

For me it flows with my kit and I hope it will flow with Z without the kit as well.

I saw Nitrouz fenders in person and painted with CF looks better cant imagine full CF unpainted will look good :confused:
