the fitment an every single peice was TERRIBLE.... as far as the way they fit with each other and the way they fit on the car.... thats why i didnt even attempt the work.... and adrenalin did do a good job of seaming them together nicely, but im sure the fenders were a knock off for what i paid for them... so..... if that answers you question.

update....

SO a bit of an update on the sitch.... turns out Adrenalin is even worse that I thought... after a tiny collision with a parking stall bumper, the seams where the fenders meet the bumper developed a vertical fracture on each side.... turns out they filled the gaps in the seams with some sort of foam...then just filled the areas with glaze.... thats it. Gay. so thats why it cracked so damn easy anyway.... heres some pics...

The Left hand crack....


The crack sanded down.. exposing the chitty foam filler


Yay for camo7!! LOL... Jason helped my immensely by guiding me through the process... Sand.. Duraglass coating for strengthy bond... Body filler.. the glaze.. with sanding, sanding and more sanding.. so much sanding!



The finished ( sort of ) product... back to normal... but way stronger!... lots more touch up to do around the car ... but this made for a good start..


ABF 2008... here we come!

Yayyyyy!!! Lookin good buddy. Shoulda asked around before you had them do it I coulda recommended a really good shop in Kirkland... Oh well... I didn't expect much in the way of quality from them... It's kind of a good thing you tapped the front bumper... Otherwise you never would have known!!

Chris... Yes, me and jason did it all on last saturday... with lots more to come on both cars as the days get longer... i have to pull my bump strips, mold them in... ( jason did this on his coupe... it looks REALLY clean) clean up a few more crappy areas.. then re sand the whole car with a finer grit.. then paint! Hope to see paint before ABF 2008!

SHANE! yes.. true to that... you should make it up to the next rocko7.. not to far form you.. (federal way) and this one is more sit down, have a beer and pizza and relax.

Tim.. yeah, well... whats done is done.. and you can all thank me for being the guinea pig. Their body work guys supposedly has ALL this experience. Experience in lies... lets not forget they left my damn car out front of the shop for a few weeks, while i was out of the country.. all the while telling me it was safe and locked up every night. Jason said he saw it out there all hours ofteh night.. didn't move for a week. That place is a total lie fest. My new vendetta is against making their business decline.

Not very happy... are you selling the 5z's off the FB? In truth i need some 10" wide wheels to fill that rear fender... with a positive offset to boot! Ug.
