Hmmm, ineresting.
Id have to see them in person, Id be kind of worried that they would be super thin and flimsy. Probably only practical on a ALL SHOW CAR.
Mine is a daily driver.
Im also not found of the Z3 fins.

Yeah the Z3 style looks kind of ricey. I think they would look better if it were an OEM style.

I wouldn't bet on the integrity of that product. One wrong turn with a shopping cart and your car will be in the shop for weeks

Why is nothing offered OEM style as far as lighter, stronger fenders?! I know there were fiberglass available in OEM style but what happened to them?!

375 plus 105 shipping... hmmmmm



but i think it'll actually look more weird then anything... even with the amount of carbon fiber I have or anyone else, unless the doors and bumpers are carbon fiber, it'll look out of place.



mmmmm carbon fiber doors..

i would look into custom colors since my max is pearl white, if they were a different stye. i dont like the z3 fenders at all. they're way too played out.

id still b interested to see how they look on someone elses ride. especially 24/7's

Stock fenders are light. At least stock 5th gen fenders are light, 4th gen shouldnt be much different though, so if you get these, it really shouldnt be for the weight savings. I think it will look pretty retarded if you dont have a CF bumper, which isnt available YET.

Id love to see someone with the CF Hood, Fenders, Doors, Trunklid, Rearwindow Spoiler, Faux CF tails and CF eyelids. That would be halarious... That would be some serious photoshopin skills!

stock fenders weight no more than 5lbs, this CF would be too light and unstable, someone bumps their car door, and they're probably going to put a crack in the fender.

for a show car maybe, not for daily driving.

I would like to see these on a white max with CF hood+lip kit.

Only time i have seen CF fenders look good is when they are partially painted to match original paint.

Maybe if you were to pain the front sections of the fenders to match the car and leave the sections closer to the door unpainted, kinda like the CF hood on the blue Evolution-autodesign maxima. I think that would look pretty clean, but if you had a CF hood you would have to paint the sides to blend in with the fenders as well (lotsa money ). Some people will flame on painting CF, but if done right you can make it look WAY better than just straight CF.
