nice job mang, what car is that?

 

[theCybe 5,000+ posts]

92 Prelude Si; It's fitted, but I haven't bolted it down yet because the bodykit arrives today.

I'm still trying to find a way to get the power-wire through the firewall, too, so hopefully when I take the hood off I can get a little closer to where I need to be.

the gap looks off a little....is it just a shadow?

he said it was just pre fit not bolted on

Not bolted - the bottom part isn't flush because it's just hanging from where it bolts to the engine compartment, the bottom part just kinda hangs until you bolt it in. I took that pic while I was testing the hoodlines.

It fits just right, I am really impressed with the shape of the part; It's not the most durable, and I'm considering giving it the extra glass treatment, but I'm worried to warp it.

Thanks for the feedback

I'll have more pics coming as the car gets it's parts.

leave the Z3 fenders on Z3's, I can't stand seeing that stuff on other cars.

agreed... VIS bullet fenders arent bad but fenders that belong on another car i think belong on that car. But it's personal preference, good luck with the project.

Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It was the least expensive option for replacing the smashed OEM fender. I wanted the laser/bullet/F1 fenders, but these were cost-effective, and don't look bad honestly.

In fact, I think they look like sh!t on the Z3/Z4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hey if your still wondering where to run the wire the most open and easy area to get to is on the driver side theres a pretty nice open spot where you dont have to worry about drilling through anything. also be careful when taking the hood off make sure you have someone with you cuz its pretty heavy.

run it on the driver's side

Yeah, I am surprised that there is less sh!t there, but it's true. Unfortunately, the battery is on the passenger's side. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Still haven't gotten it through; Matter of fact, I spent 2 hours trying to get the gºd****ed headlights out; They're still in.

Thing is built strangely.

I did get the rear bumper on though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

^ routed the power successfully on the passenger side

back end is all molded, shaved, smoothed, primered, sanded.

here's a dry-fit front pic from a few months ago.
