Fenders painted

Montana370Z · 01-10-2017, 10:04 PM

I was looking at some aftermarket front fenders for my 2011 Z. Found some good ones but of course they aren't painted. How much should I expect to pay to get them painted for my car?

That varies a lot depending on the shop, their rate, and type and quality of paint used. You're probably going to have to pay some shop time for fitting it too. They all need to be tweaked a little here and there to fit perfectly. Just the nature of aftermarket.

I'd expect $4-500 would be a reasonable price, but wouldn't be terribly surprised if it were a couple hundred more.

What fenders did you get and what are they made of?

Not good quality? I haven't purchased yet...

People that have actually tried it can chime in, but have heard time after time about it cracking and needed to be patched up repeatedly, until owners finally give up and replace with something else.

For ease of installation and OEM fitment there is only one fender I would even consider. CS Z34 Fenders V1.

They make them by cutting an OEM fender, so the fit should be OEM. Everything else might not be quiet the same. I am not saying the rest are not good, just not OEM.

Duraflex is a no no.

Thank you for the info, I'm glad I posted here before buying. I have a dent on my front left fender, so I figured if I am having to replace it anyways I might as well get an upgrade. But I may just replace the one for now and do some more research...

It is your car afterall. Those are just my thoughts.
