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 have reason to believe they're custom - I've never seen the separated pattern like that, only fenders with a single large vent.

No reason to defend your taste man, some people like kits, others like flow, others like OEM - personally I'll be adding a lip kit and non-oem side skirts in the future, but they all flow together.

Whereabouts in NY are you by the way? At some point we could meet up for a photoshoot or something once you get that paint job done.

Yeah I had gotten an eribuni 404 kit when i first got my car, but just didnt like it. Always loved the "aggressive" look...was always what i saw around my town when i was little
Well im all the way in albany lol, but i dont mind drivin a bit. There a few other people that id like to meet and get a good shoot in with like Novak. But my car wont be done till like next month. Got alot of projects to finish on her
hoping to get a few more measurements of the z3 and start that very soon

Damn lol that's far. I wouldn't mind driving a bit though either. Same deal on my car too.

Do you still have that 404 kit? And is it 404A by any chance? I originally wanted one.

yeah i think we all live in a little bit different directions lol but i like drivin the celi so i dont mind lol
And it was a 404a kit and before I knew much about kits...i sold it for $200 ...yupp the whole kit lol. But i bought it for $75 from some sketchy guy (pretty sure it was stolen lol) should kept it, coulda sold for much more:( oh well
