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....

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

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....

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?

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

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
