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

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.

just an fyi, the oem fenders come unpainted.
so you got probably about 600 for set (300 each) and 300 for paint (150 each)
so 900 for oem fenders or maybe 1200 for accolade fenders
thats not bad at all... i wish i had the option of buying cheap , good fitting fenders before

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.
