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:

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.

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

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

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:

Isamu 05-09-2012 04:04 PM

and you can't cut your stock fenders cuz they are MINE!! :bowrofl:

Teen years + Fiberglass + resin = High-*** teenager haha

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.
