z3 fenders?



Are these real fenders?

They look like a photoshop to me (a rather bad one), but if there not does anyone know where to get them?

thanx

I know there are Z3 style 'gills' available as fibreglass blanks to be moulded into fenders - intended for the Honda rice crowd, but such things could be included in your ReX fender easily.



looks like this installed (on a BMW sedan)



or can be modified, as on this Acura Integra



Z3 Style Fiberglass Fender Inserts. Must be modified onto the vehicle. Universal Application. Approx. Length = 20", Width = 5".

Parts Description (fiberglass)
Z3 style inserts (pair) - $125.00
available from http://www.wholehyper.com/

So...If anyone decideds to do this, let me know. I was thinking of doing it myself eventually, and Id just like to see the finished product before I fully commit.

Those would look sweet centered in the hood, if both were installed side by side in a \/ shape. It could let out a lot of heat trapped in the engine bay area.

Yea it would be an artistic (and expensive) way to achieve what you did to the black hood (to which I give many props)

I was thinking more on the line of Cosworth hood vents, those are much more better looking, and more expensive too!!! I'm getting a pair for my Merkur.
