Very interested in these. Someone dented one of my fenders today so I'll most likely already be needing a new one + paint. I'll see what the quote is and let you know ASAP if I can get these. First dibs!

Do you have any close up pictures of the damage? Also what does one weigh?

I dont have any close ups but I have them pretty much repaired with body filler but still needs attention to make it perfect. I did a weight comparison when I got them and it really doesnt make a difference, It was 6lbs lighter on the front with these

I shit you not, it is only that much lighter. Our alum fenders are very light and thin to begin with, same thing with our hoods.
Getting a fiberglass hood for our cars isnt that much of a difference either. Im not lying, I weighed each one separately, then i tried the pairs together and it came out 6lbs. I will get pics right now of the damage, I will circle the spots that I feel need attention too

This is the passanger side, the corner near the a pillar and the door. I didnt have the fender adjusted to the car so that the door would close with no rubbing. Ended up taking a bit of the corner off. No bigger than the size of your pinkie fingernail. Needs filler to be complete, not hard to do

Also on the passanger side(no picture) of the front corner where the hood and the light would meet, a chip was taken off from holding the fender upside down on the driveway and it chiped a small bit off but it has been filled and sanded to look like there is a corner again

On the drivers side, where the hood rubber bump is inserted, it broke from pushing the part in too hard. Fixed very lightly right now but will need a body shop to reform to hold the rubber bumper

Finally on the driver side, another fitment issue I didnt take into account when I first put these on. Chipped off a little bit larger chunk. Added some filler but will need a small amount to fix the edge I missed. Overall it is pretty much complete on that corner

Well thats why I did have in the first post "There are a few minor chips on corners but that can be fixed by a shop"

they are high quality and very straight. They only make them to order so they dont loose their shape on a shelf
