stay away, stay away, stay away from those fenders. unless you do your own body work, are really good at it, and are willing to spend a lot of man hours fixing the mistakes, do not get those fenders.

Gr3ddy has them and they look pretty damn good but it's very pricey to get them to fit the way they're supposed to.
They're $625 from Accolade but you'll be well over the $1k mark to get them put on

^+1 $what JEDI SAID. Paint alone is going to be alone at least $150 a fender... and thats the price i can get it at....fitting+install is going to be another several $hundred

The stock parts cost too much too! Lol. And 430% isn't slight man. I don't get anything but the best (...I have a problem) and from what I see from others this doesn't fit, costs a lot to paint, and does nothing in terms of performance (yeah, I know it's not a turbo but still...), so I said it's not worth $300 and I stand by that. I'm in school for this **** so please just be patient and I'll have some good mods to sell right after school

stop being cheap. $300 for a proper fitting OEM fender is not that much
how did you get a 430% increase?
Are we talking about the Accolade fenders vs OEM?
OEM = $300 (msrp) x 2 = $600
Accolade = $625 (shipped to my door) for both.
that's a difference of $25.
Neither do I. (have you seen my mod list?) but as the saying goes, "you gotta pay to play"
A body shop could address all but one of those issues for you. As with just about ANY aftermarket body panel, some modification will be needed to ensure proper fitment.
G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY did the necessary work and his fenders fit very well.
As for performance: I won't even go there.
Everyone has their own way of determining worth so I shall not argue this much as I will not sway you one way or another.
I will simply say that if this is look that one finds appealing, one could easily justify the cost.
let us know how that works out.

Jared: nothing wrong with a healthy argument / discussion.
#23
Has anyone tried to make their own vented/louvered fenders from their stock ones? If I can get a cheap used set I'd be willing to try it lol. I plan on wrapping my car, so I'm not concerned about paint at the moment.
