Making Custom Fender Vents-, Some Questions, need oppionins :) Options

[mgnt232]

(dont mind the first response. was to a different question, but didnt wanna spam up the forums)

So I am going to make some z3 fenders, well the top vents anyhow, with my stock fenders
I got (thanks to four-eyed-freak) all the measurements I need for the fender, and a very well detailed pic (I feel like i should leave him feedback lol).
I am just wondering if anyone has ever done this before?
I basically will be cutting (included a pic, because its kinda hard to explain) a "3 sided square" (yeah that made sense in my head ) and bending the metal in, liquid nail the mesh in the right spot, then bondo the edges so it looks like its supposed to.
I dont think it will be too hard, but if anyone has suggestions, im all ears


I will be making the fenders like ajmorris's, have been talking it over with him. So I am not making the side vents on the fenders like the z3, already have another plan for that . hopefully the progress really starts soon, and the supra SS get here:)

I would say mask off EVERYTHING you can - strip whatever you don't need (your hood, for instance), don't plan on driving the car anywhere while you're doing it, and TAKE YOUR TIME. The better your prep job, the better the final result will be. I would also at least attempt to paint the door jambs, that way it doesn't look weird getting into your car. I don't know about actual painting (reading up myself because I have to do my fenders) but prepping is very important and shouldn't be skipped.

If you're going with a pearl color, get some sunburst pearl and stay OEM
