boosted280 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ive searched on here and have only been able to find older stuff. Is there a place to get replacement fenders for a 280z? I have found some but they have a 3" flare molded to them as well. I am looking for stock. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted280 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Blackdragons shipping seems outrageous. And I thought they had went out of business already? Also they are not available. Edited July 16, 2018 by boosted280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calZ Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 One of those should have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted280 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Have you used any of them? Just because they are on google doesn’t mean they are worth a damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I've ordered from ZCarDepot(other parts, not fenders). They've been reliable and quick in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetsaz Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Aftermarket fenders are pretty much all from Tabco I think. I bought one from blackdragon when they were going out of business. Wish I'd bought both only because it was clean metal. That being said, they will most definitely not fit without some work. I spent a few hours trimming excess metal from the stamping and bending some parts to properly curve with the rest of the car. Bolts up front did not fit very well and required some serious pulling by the headlight to fit. Can't speak for how well the lower bolts into the rocker panel fit until I swap them onto my new shell. Last shell had replacement rockers which of course also require some work to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted280 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Thanks guys. I am currently deciding what route to go on a lot of this project and didnt know if maybe fiberglass fenders would be something easy to find and readily available.

G-Tech Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 yes, showcars has terrible rep, i found out first hand. and aftermaket sheet metal always seems thinner than OEM. my aftermarket fender will get waves in the top from people resting their hands on it. (i know, people shouldnt be leaning on my fender but it happens and my OEM fender handles it). if you can find a good used fender the metal will be thick and your fitment should be best compared to aftermarket. but if you cant then you do what you gotta do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
