With recent storms that came thru Alabama from Zeta, we got 70mph straight line winds and my dumbass didn’t tie the trampoline down.

so, my passenger fender caught hell when the winds shot the trampoline like a rocket into my car.

YAY, perfect time to just get whole new fenders now. Been looking at the Duraflex F1 fenders, anyone here got some they can share some pics of? Can’t really find any on google images.

I know the majority here hate body kits, ect. but each their own, I love them.
 
Here are a handful from about 2009. I ended up abandoning them even after I had TONS of time into them to get them to fit right and I still had more to go around the headlight area.

they looked cool but literally every body line, mounting position, etc needed to be modified. I learned how to fiberglass, but the fenders ultimately didn’t make the cut. I just got tired of working on them.

So going to be a lot of time to make them work huh? Figures, appreciate the pics
 
If you find some post them up. I've been trying to find some z3 fenders but even the web pages selling them don't have any actual product pics, it's frustrating.

I found this pic on here of one with z3 fenders and I gotta say it looks pretty nice how this guy had his setup, but he said he felt the car was too much of a ricer so he stripped the car. Was back in 2010 when he made the post.

If the Z3 fenders don’t have to be modded much to fit I’ll prob go with those, my car is also red

Car I bought has some on it. No paint and they fiberglassed the fender to the side skirts but it looks like the line up pretty well. Attached a few pics. The wire mesh in the vents was added by whoever riced the car out as all the scoops have the same exact mesh.

hmm, those don't look that bad either. I might have to go with those if they line up better than the F1s did.

The one I post pics of is a 1G so the alignment issues may come into play more on 2G cars since they definitely have more curves to them. But figured I'd post some pics in hopes it may help someone out.

Can't say what the brand is either as I was not the original buyer of the fenders. I just bought the car for circle track racing. Guy put a new timing belt on it and put the cams 180 degrees out at which point he let it sit for 6-8 years and then sold it for 260 bucks after squirrels nested in the car.
