Accolade Fenders just in

After a long-*** wait, my Accolade fenders finally came in. Here are a few pics of them. I'll post more once I get them painted and installed.

Sorry about the small pictures, the original ones were too large to upload here. You can see the original sizes on my myspace page under the 8's folder, or you can find me on facebook if you search for Dick Panattoni.

I'm going to put them on today, and probably drop them off at the painters on Wednesday.

Btw I resized all the pics, they're much larger now.

I'm also getting the Seibon TSII hood. I think the vents will match nicely.

uhh 2 quick questions for these fenders. do they run flush with the stock bumper or are they supposed to only match the accolade front bumper. and...do u lose safety going from metal panels to fiberglass panels?

fiberglass will crack or shatter where metal will dent or bend. rock chips can also occur more often due to fiberglass.

So I put them most of the way on today. I ran out of time cause I had to go to dinner with a friend. Fitment seems well so far. I didn't put the bumper on, but the headlights fit pretty well. There is a very small gap in the corner there, but that can be easily repaired. I didn't cut enough out of the inside of it to fit my vertical hinge assembly, so I have to do that and then drill holes for all those crappy plastic screws that go on the inside of the fender. All the other holes are pre-drilled.

I won't be able to work on it much this week, so I'll wait for the weekend to prep it for the painters, and I'll drop it off on Monday.
