(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:)

If you want to do something different to your fenders, shave the side markers off for the clean look... --------------------  '94 ST |

I'm not knocking on mgnt by any means, but we have another ajmorris on our hands with him. Clean isn't an option I don't think.Honestly I would do something different for a change, instead of the Z3 fender look. In fact, take a look at this video here, I would love to see these fenders recreated - they're unique AND functional. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wou8KRPGHo --------------------  |

I do like those vents, but i dont know if i have the confidence to try um though, it would be harder, and I havent even done the small z3 vents yet + I have an idea for that spot right there. Although its not at all ruled out, if the z3's end up good, i could try them
I will have the same side skirts as the celi in the vid, and the same color though. Yeah unfortunately my "taste" isnt "clean", but i do appreciate the very clean celi's out there. Different people have different dreams you sure do have another aj Are those vents in the vid. custom? im trying to find people who make their own, and cant rlly find anything. -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.
