I would assume you are talking about inserts. These are full fenders w/ the cuts made into them. There is no worry about fitment, no custom work required and you do not have to worry about the inserts falling our or cracking because of weather, or getting bumped.

If you happen to mean $25 for both fenders w/ cuts, then please let me know.

I had these made because I wanted them. The other options out there for fenders had a little too much going on for my taste. Plus, I love the fact that these are entirely sheet metal.
There was a lot of interest when Shadow was trying to get them made. Where are those guys now? I fronted my own money trying to get these out there for Max's.

$400 shipped doesn't seem all that bad when you consider how expensive shipping can be for something this size.

Bodykits and hoods ship for what, at least $100?

I respect the effort on alot of levels:
1) All steel, one piece construction
2) Nicely painted up. Nice color BTW!

For someone who likes the look, it's a good quality, no fiberglass approach.

Although I don't really like the looks(to me the look added on for the sake of adding), I can appreciate the effort and time to actually execute such a project. That's alot more than many of us have done.

Thank you for the responses. I even appreciate the criticisms because, not everyone is going to live everything. My intentions were and will be to get some quality, unique products for as cheap as possible for us Maxima's. The store I opened up is not my livelihood and is only there to make ordering easier for people..
I wanted these for myself, and there was enough interest a while ago, that's why I thought it a worthwhile investment. Where'd all those people go?
I didn't go the route of asking people and then getting them made because people don't like waiting, I know I don't. So I took it upon myself to get them made and only announce them when they were ready.

Hopefully, they will sell and I won't be stuck with them..

Well, it looks to be the same product that I am selling. Unbeliveable. It seems I have no choice but to lower my price to match his. This whole fender thing is turning out to be a very bad idea. I am going to be losing money. I need to talk to my manufacturer because I paid all these tooling fees and what not (which is why I had to charge more) and now, someone else is selling what looks to be an identical product for such a low price.
I will be lowering my price to match his today for anyone that is interested.

Price Drop

As it has been brought to my attention that there are other Z3 fenders available out there which seem identical to mine, I have been forced to drop my prices.
Needless to say, I am now loosing money on this, making me re-think investing my own money to get products made..
Price is now $260 shipped, competitive with my competitors.

Yes, $199 plus $65 shipping to most places..

$199 + $65 = $264 shipped.
