after playing with the fender a bit.... there is a big mofo gap :( imma see what i can do... but since i dont wanna f up the cf... im scared i might end up having to live with this mad gap on the fender... FML.... well see tomoro... im tired from pulling my fender bumper side skirt on in about 3 hours by myself lol :( fitment is 85% outa 100 yup... that bad... no holes btw so i gotta drill holes tomoro....

TheGreatOne 05-08-2012 10:01 AM

sucks about the gap :( but those fenders look tasty!

Apoc370z 05-08-2012 02:08 PM

If you are such a perfectionist, maybe sell these and order another set? I wouldnt like that big *** gap neither.

Not much you can do unless you wanna fill and paint over the cf. or fix the gap and relay the cf?

thats what im afraid of but i dont wanna cover the cf .. i dont wana resell these... if i did i wouldnt even find a buyer out here... like all the other parts i sold here because they are to big to ship back to the states.... people low balled the hell outa me.... and i folded in with the low balls.... had no choice... to give you an example... sold my front bumper complete with a authentic jp vizage jdm lip for only 250 :shakes head: sold my side skirts complete with my oem ones with evor side spats for 150 for a pair... sold my rear bumper complete evor diffuser sunline replica end caps oem nissan fog lamp with custom black chrome badges for 400..... it pissed me off even more because the guy that bought it has even the same color as me... so he didnt have a headache at all... when i think about having to order it paying shipping... waiting... painting and installing the parts all by myself and then having to sell it to to that guy.... :shakes head: for 550..... if i sold these fenders here.... the MOST someone would pay me is probably 300.... and they would give me ******** about the fitment..... and say... hey man if you dont like my offer, you aint gonna find another guy willing to buy this on island.... i raise my middle finger to them.... what i should have done... is parted out my spats and all my original body kit to someone in states even if i lost out because of shipping... at least i would still be the only z with a full body kit :bowrofl: sorry guys it just frustrates me soooooo much about how some local z guys here act..... they low ball me... and act like bringing in a big *** part from the states... or japan... is freakin easy and costs peanuts to ship to this stupid island... btw im not mad at you apoc lol... just wanted to let you guys know my situation....

:endrant:

KaienZ34 05-08-2012 05:07 PM

No problem man, say what you need to.

Apoc370z 05-08-2012 06:38 PM

Your frustration is understandable, but there s always a risk when it comes to after market parts. People can tell you the fitment is dead on but it doesnt mean it will work the same for yours as well. And as for reselling parts, i think you should have a lil more patience unless you really need the money.

Anyways, i dont know what else you can do, maybe talk to carbon signal and see if they are willing to do a swap?

Isamu 05-08-2012 06:38 PM

it only looks really bad because it's not painted... once you get it all color matched an done up, i will look great!

Isamu 05-08-2012 06:42 PM

so, does this mean I don't get your stock fenders? LOL

ZForce 05-08-2012 07:43 PM

Nice pic on previous page. Saw pics of the fender on Jamie 's phone he said you had a big gap could only see it now. You have mod talent am I am sure you will figure out something. Keep us posted on the development. Who's fenders?

that is true.... im assuming these fenders are the v1 produced in the US... aj did mention this to me there was a second version produced that addressed the issue... :facepalm: so i guess i got the v1..... as for the parts man i waited as long as i could... parts sat in my storage room for a couple weeks.... thats when i folded into the only guy that offered to buy em from me.... plus there are only probably 3 people out here who are serious about modding the z :rolleyes:

i have a plan to make it fit right.... lets cross our finger man

ill just order some and have em shipped to you. pm me your addy

simota1 05-09-2012 04:35 AM

isamu ill pm you later... promise...

update... well... i was able to align the fenders with the headlights hood a pillar... but im still having problems with the door... :shakes head: so now i gotta come to a decision.... either i cut the vent out and re adjust it... or i lay fiberglass on top and loss the cf....well see... its impossible to close the gap near the door ive been playing with the fender since 5... its 8 now..... and its only the passenger side :bowrofl: if i do cut it.... jesus... im not making it to both meets... :facepalm:

Carbon_z 05-09-2012 11:46 AM

Who did you buy the fenders from? Id have them adjust the fitment and send you new ones personally. Sounds like a 80-85% fitment part which I would not be happy about. Also considering you had to drill holes too.

KaienZ34 05-09-2012 12:09 PM

He got them 2nd hand.

they sound new for being second hand...drilling new holes means couldnt have been installed before.

I say sell the whole car and burn it :tup: Then I will become BIG RED :happydance:

Just display the driver side during the meet!

Dont lose the cf, mod the fiberglass part instead, or cut out the vents and mod it into your original fender?

i got them from a member here.... i dont think he ever tried to install em... and your absolutely right its a 80-85% fitment... which is total bs.... it also sucks because paying such a high price 700 plus shipping which was 200..... you guys all know im not a happy camper right now.... the only part i thank god is the headlights hood and front bumper line up perfectly i would have been PISSED is those were off too.... im also really happy that i decided to install the fenders myself.. i know for a fact no body shop would even deal with the bs fitment they would have settled with the mammoth gap....

:tup: thats exactly what im gonna do..... imma cut and readjust.... thought about it the whole night... couldnt really sleep really... i was so irritated.... i dont wanna cut the oem fender... with how salty the climate is here.... those two things will eventually seperate... ill just re fiberglass the CS fender :tup: great idea about showing only one side... i think thats what ill end up doing haha

simota1 05-09-2012 03:45 PM

id like to add another member.. im not gonna mention names... said he had a set laying around... i ask why he never installed it... i couldnt see why.. because he was a vendor on here... he mentioned that they were a piece of sh!t and he would probably cut his oem fender and fit the vents himself since the fitment was a lil off... i didnt imagine it to be this bad....

man that sucks. Im glad I stuck with seibon fenders. I hope I dont have any fitment issues but I never hear of anything as crazy as what your going through right now. ******* sucks... I think it would be easy to use the stock fender and make the damn vent. :shakes head:
