Aftermarket Fenders

Does anyone know of a source for stock or custom front fenders for the 2nd gen RX-7s? Mine are rusting at the bottoms, from the inside out. I don't want to spend much, but fiberglass or custom styling would interest me enough to dig a little deeper into my pockets. Dave C.

yeah the bone yard. Pull 2 new rust free fenders off another car and hit the inside with Naval jelly to stop the rust. Or corksport sells some but I heard they don't just bolt on

f you're getting aftermarket fenders, make sure they're FRP. They're more flexible, cost a little more but worth it.

I've got a Victoria British catalog. I don't remember seing them in it. RX7Heaven replied...$100 + $25 shipping (each). I'll probably go with those. Dealer wants $299 each.
I don't care for the wide look without the rears matching. I do like fiberglass though. Dave C.

VB also.

It is cheap, but it is a pain to install. Very labor intensive. The rears are a huge pain, the fronts required a lot of work (and a lot more that I haven't done) to fit with my FC2000 front bumper.

You'll need some tools and some fiberglass experience to put the rears on, or find a shop in the area that has worked a bit with fiberglass before.
