Just so you know for my headlights I drilled one hole in the top where they mount onto the fender and just put a push clip in it (like the ones in the fender liner and such), that is plenty secure. The screw on top of the radiator and the one underneath are the main ones. Read my post above this one in case you missed it, that could be why the headlight wont go back more.

Ya, I sat there like a dummy for 30 min looking at it to figure out why the light wouldn't go in all the way.. Haaaa!!

:p sorry I didnt notice when I first looked haha! You never said anything about the square white clip at the bottom front of the factory fender. How was that?

Took a little effort to get it out, but filed out the hole and stuck in in. Had to brace it from the rear to screw into it..:tiphat: I just gotta be patient.

I almost ripped my finger off the first time, and all the way to the fourth time gave me a fight. I HATE that clip!

No gain without pain, I'm gonna set the impeller on the SC on fire :eek: to shift gears before I break something..

2nd day fenders
 
Okay, the passenger side fit much better. Went on in 10 mins. A little filing and some washers and shes as close as my skill level can get.

Some pics of passenger side:

I am still having trouble with the driver side. This fiber glass seems to be crap and is braking apart under any pressure. If you have the time save up and bye a high quality kit. You will enjoy it much more and so will your bodywork shop..

:tiphat:

Mr&Mrs 11-11-2012 10:59 AM

Problem is the same company makes all these different fenders. I also find it funny in my recent searching that the driver side has been the problem for most people.

When you get the wheel well back in the gap by the light pretty much goes away because light cant come thru the back of it.

Nut_N_Much 11-11-2012 11:15 AM

That's good to know. I'm debating whether or not to leave them on for a while to see if that Drivers side cracks or not. I still haven't herd back from Martin at ZFever for the Dyno :driving: time but should be soon. I can take them off while installing the Stillen Kit.

I don't want to do a butt load of work and spend more money and have them crack like so many others. :wtf2:
