they are fiberglass, which means you cant tweak them like

metal fenders to fit the car.



on the other hand though you could do some bodywork on the fenders

to have them look perfect

im talking doing them the right way and having them fit



who ever said body filler has to be redone every few years?



maybe if your trying to fill in where the body molding

used to be, or your putting it on the bumpers to fill **** in, but

on fiberglass parts there is nothing wrong with some body filler.

if its THAT much out of wack you could trim and reglass, or you

could move the mounting points, there are a number of ways to

get them to work.



perfectly straight show cars are made one way- properly applying

and sanding bodyfiller from one end of the car to the other, its the

only way to get a car perfectly straight.

I thought you told me if I had my door handles shaved with bondo they would fall apart every couple years?

Probably if you just layed fibreglass over the door handle hole and then smoothed it over with bondo, yeah, you would. That's a big hole. You should weld it then smooth/sand it, then fill the tiny imperfections with bondo.

yeah, what he said



and putting body filler on fiberglass fenders versus metal parts

is a whole different ball game.

AT least make the link clickable, must of us are lazy http://www.corksport.com . Their actuall location is in Portland OR, only a 35 minute drive away



The all-new Cork Sport Wide-Body Fenders. These fenders not only reduce weight by the hand-laid quality fiberglass construction, but also add 30mm width of clearance to the wheel well. Also feature a stylish vent. OEM fitment. Appx. 5lbs each. -These are made to fit stock bodywork. Additional modifications may be required if used with aftermarket front facias (bumpers) and or side skirts.



PRICE: $375.00

they weigh in about four pounds compared to 11 pounds stock. I will have them fitted later when i do the rest of the body kit, and i am going to make the vent smaller.
