How come ya'll's rides aint got different fenders?

[branman_crx_guy]

Ok, first off, I'm not puttin down anybody's car, every pic I've seen of ya'lls cars look badass, but I just noticed that none of u guys have Z3 or M3 or Dragon or some other kind of fenders. I have Z3 fenders that will be goin on (my car goes in Sat by the way, its about damn time!) and I think they'll look pretty cool. Does anyone have problems with them, or do u guys just prefer it stock?



PS Not much point to this thread, im just killin time, but I do want opinions on it, cuz im tryin to get a feel for whether or not my car is gonna be even the slightest bit ricey. Thanx in advance

I know a guy with Z3 fenders, looks pretty tight, hes got JDM sidemarkers also

[branman_crx_guy]

hes got JDM sidemarkers also

Yeah, my bro has VW sidemarkers he's tryin to get me to buy off him for $40, but i dont think i want holes drilled in my car. I luv how they look tho. Thanx for your opinion about the Z3's.

first off, i'm not really about the eye catching mods. i'd rather do something that will catch a 4th gen owner's eye.

i hate the seat belts in the 90-91 hatch...always stuck in the door. but, i also hate the screw holes in the corners on the 88-89 hatch. so i got an 89 and upgraded to 90 fenders i love it when people someone is looking at my car and then say something about it being a '90. i say nope and they go back and look again with a confused look on their face.

IMO, i think it's sweet to have someone think your car is mildly modded...until they start to look at it. the more they look the more detail they find. i'm not into my car being really flashy and screaming for attention from 5 blocks away.

but, that's me....and we're all different

i got the jdm sidemarkers and clear corners :finger:

"wow, what company made those? they don't look all cheesey and fake"....it's called honda of japan bay-be

*sh*t! i think i just gave Setanta the opportunity to hold every damn nut and bolt on his car over my head* :evillaugh

LOL Ami.

I don't have different fenders, cuz I think the stock ones are just fine. The vents in the Z3's or whatever are only for looks, they aren't functional, so, in light of that fact, it's difficult for me to justify spending money on them. I've got some non-functional cosmetic mods (my fiberglass wing), and, admittedly, that's the same thing, but (IMO) I think the wing looks badass, whereas the Z3 fenders just look OK...

I put some teg side-markers in my fenders though if that counts... :sun:

if i had the money i would have bought some z3 fenders, but we all not rich enough

I think aftermarket fenders only look good with certain body kits.

I think they only look good on a Z3. If they actually vented the engine bay or something I might get some. I would consider CF Fenders but they are like $600/set which is too rich for my blood.

Hmm my JDM front conversion will be here in a week only took me a month to find someone who would had one in stock or answered my calls..... JDM fenders with side markers so fresh so clean. I am not all about impressing the masses I really don't care if people look at my car and get that shine in their eyes my car is my style and it will impress anyone who actually knows their shit....... :finger:

Yeah, I hate those too.. I removed mine and added 4pt harnesses and then put 89 door panels in to remove the extra space in the 91 door panel.. I contemplated making it a speaker enclosure but then got lazy. I might still do it if the mood strikes me.

I love the Z3 fenders!!
I'm going to be putting some on my car soon

[BullShifter]

my opinion
it's a honda, if you want to copy a BMW then go buy one
in my mind the whole point of a custom car is to be different than the rest on the street. if its your money then do what pleases you, dont worry about other opinion

[branman_crx_guy]

Thanx for the opinions. I understand wat most of u guys r saying about it just being an attention grabber, but thats y i do it. It's probably just cause im young, but i want everyone to look at my car and say wow; i dont care if ur a fellow 4th genner, american car guy, or even a ricer, i just want to here ppl say damn thats nice when they look at my car, so im tryin to do a little bit for everyone (the altezza's r for the ricers )

[QuickSilverEF9]

Amen to that.
