fitting aftermarket fenders on FC?
 
So when I bought my car it had aftermarket fiberglass fenders on it, but the passenger side wasn't aligned right, as it was too far towards the door, and I guess when someone opened the door and cracked the fender a bunch. So I bought some after market fenders (Extreme Dimensions) that just dont fit well. They were the cheapest I could find, so maybe its just what I get for going cheap? The ones that were on were B-Magic, which just from a quality standpoint seems like it was a way better brand, plus they fit kind of okay. Is there a way I can make the new fiberglass fenders fit? Can I heat up the fenders and bend them at all? I would much rather prefer not to be out 200$, especially since one got a big chip near the headlights when test fitting them so they arent exactly returnable. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If the car is straight,it may not be an issue.
But aftermarket parts are not exactly a Bolt on and go item 100% of the time.
Depending on the company and style,etc..you can get a Great fitment or a Horrible fit.
it boils down to making the one part fit the other.
NOT all fenders from the same company are going to be Produced exactly the same..They will vary..
You may get lucky and have no issues,..or you may have to reshape it to conform to the car.

Well one of them fits okay, the other is off by quite a bit, I was wondering the process of how to make it fit. I tried a few google searches but they were all more or less bumpers that were plastic and bendable, which fiberglass just doesn't seem to want to do.
