whuts up guys? i purchased the drift style body kit and the 20mm fenders for my fc convert. i took it to the body shop yesterday, they called me today and said it would not fit because both the drift bumper and the 20mm front fenders have the same molding for the turn signal/marker light (you know the one between the nose and the wheel well) has anyone had this problem and wuts the solution? do i cut the fender so the bumper is flush or vise versa?

You need to find a better body shop.



BTW, body kits never fit. And composite fenders are even worse. Its custom work every time.

yea always custom work and i'd probably opt to cut the fender so it's a smooth bottom bumper line.

I would say cut the fenders from an aesthetic point of view, then post or just send me pics when its done. I have a vert too and I want to get widened fenders for it. Whos products did you buy?
