Default Vented Fender Feedback

About to pull the trigger on the VF1 vented fenders but wanted some feedback to see if any had any experience with it in regards to fitment or overall feedback. Or if you know of a place with better pricing. For what I want Fly1 is asking $800. They are so awesome looking but have never seen it up close and personal. The image below is from axmea?'s profile and it is incredible!!!!! Trying to pull off something similar on my pearl roadster.

His car is amazing for sure! Just need to know where to get the fenders. I hear Duraflex is not the best for fitment so wondering if Fly1 is a better spot to go. Also how much is a job like this after parts? Would be about 1K to get the parts shipped and then to install and paint I have no clue at all!

I believe his are Fly 1's. The ony other one worth considering is Carbon Signal.

Two snaps for Raf.

Nothing will fit like OEM. As long as you are prepared for that you will be happy. The only fender that would fit like oem is CS V1, because they actually make it from oem fenders. It does not have the CF part like the others do.

Makes sense.... think I'm going with Fly1. Fingers crossed on fitment.

Mine was from AeroJacket when they were around and is the same as Fly1. They were in the same industrial center at one point and shared the same supplier. Not sure how things are nowadays. I have not seen Rick/AeroJacket for a while now.

Fitment is really good, gaps are evenly spaced, and vents are nicely finished. A lot of it is on how it is installed. They also do not come with the mesh and recommend you either arrange with Fly 1 to install the mesh or get the mesh and install yourself.

Can't wait to see these on a vert.
