if you guys are aware of the bolt inside the door hinge area that holds the fender (10mm) i think this bolt is the reason mine sticks out so bad... maybe if i just cut it off and dont worry about that bolt it will sit back some more... any suggestions? im good at body work to an extent to do some minor stuff like that...

I wouldn't cut it, that may make it loose at high speeds. maybe take the bolt out temporarily just to see if it does in fact help. if so, then find a way to secure that section of the fender.

um ya. i cant say i would ever put that much money into something with a description like that...
"hey here's our fenders and small pic. 824 dollars thanks!"
they look like they would be ok if we could see them from a side shot or know what they are made of??

they are cool, but its tooo subtle of a look change for 850 bucks, i was really hoping on the quality of the accolade fenders, maybe we can have a company make a replica of accolade fenders, but make a well-fit set for a group buy or something. If anyone has the connections to make that happen i would 100% be in it.

The only reason I would consider the Panspeeds is my drivers side fender has a large dent around the side marker and I need to replace it anyways. OEM replacements are around $260 or so plus paint. I could just take the time to replace both with the Panspeeds- it will cost more but it lets me add more aftermarket parts with a good excuse.

Also does anyone have any idea what the pan speed ones are made out of?

do it ngo... be the guinney pig for us!
i think i just got a bad fender... the drivers side fits almost perfect minus the crack it came with! And actually i think it was just because of the box i received them in...
Fender dimension: 50x30x12
Box Dimension: 142x70x50
no jok on those dimension... i could have fit 30 fenders in there easy and they were just loosely laying in there... wrapped in plastic but loose in the box with no supports...

well, that could make sence, and for the guy who is deciding between pan speed and accolade, go for which ever one you think is best looking. 400 for fenders then 800 for fitment on the acolade, then 500 for paint. thats 1700, just cough up the extra 200 and u have a great looking set of fenders
