i had the same exact problem when i bought from uam, fitment was so off and the fenders has bit crack, but i showed to a body shop, they actually managed to do it fine.
you have to readjust the part which it clips on the hood, or make a new one. |

didnt get much done today... got out of work pretty late.... put on my side skirt to see if it lines up and boom.... another huge gap... FML... this one isnt a problem because ill just add some fiberglass and filler but man.... what a great way to end my crap day already.... im exhuasted... i decided imma mount the other side so i can see wether its a even worse fitment or not..... im hoping it fits the same way the first fender did.... if theres a gap im hoping its next to the door... because if it deals with the hood or headlight... geez man.... on a bright side.... i thought of a way to fix the door gap with out having to cut the whole damn vent out... but im not 100% sure it will work... we will see as i get closer to making that decision... :ugh2:

daaammm bro best of luck, i know how much it sucks especially when you have waited so long to install something and then an issue like this comes up, well what you could do is leave it half cf and half painted, you fill out the gaps and have that parts painted, and leave the middle part where the vent is in cf, a few members did it and i think it looks great check out the pics from this link

man it will defiantly look nice on red, to me it looks nicer than having it in full cf, cuz if u have it in full cf then your car will seem copped dont know how to explain it, like fenders in cf then doors in red, here are a few more pics, i think this is your best option for your situation plus looks much nicer than leaving the whole fender in CF

100% Correct sir..... |
I'm painting 98% of my fenders, only leaving a little trim in CF. Subtle like, i'm hoping it looks stock like on the GT-R.

update..... soooo the body shop is almost done they have lined everything up..... and fixed the gap..... :tup: now the bad news..... i noticed that there was a crack on my amuse bumper.... from when i was working on it... long story short one of those nights i was working on it i was butt tired and i accidently dropped it :facepalm: and i guess it cracked there.... so i want the body shop to fix it.... before it spreads.... now here is the nut kicker... the shop is charging me 1,500 for installing the fenders and to fix the bumper and the headlight on the right because there is scuffs when i removed the bumper :shakes head: i almost passed out.... i looked over the labor and materials..... i saw that the paint cost 280 for only two quarts :eek: i went to the supplier for ppg.... and found out that yes solid red is a damn expensive color :shakes head: then i checked the clear coat.... dupont chromaclear 75000 and found out it goes for about 90 bucks a quart with hardener so its 180 for two quarts if you add it im being charged 1,000 for labor.... but i sort of expected it because even they had a hard time filling the gap and lining it up perfectly..... sigh... looks like i wont wrap my car this year... and that this will wrap up my modding list for this year.... gotta wait till next year again... hopefully my TS cover comes in already..... FML
