GrayZee Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have them on my car, they look good, but my autobody man wasn't too impressed with them as he had a hell of a time lining them up. It's almost like they were "too short" for the car. I dunno how he did it, but he managed to get them looking good somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've heard all the steel fenders out there "new" are a pain in the a$$ to make fit. They are close, but thats it.... I've also heard that the best bet is to find yourself a good used oem one. It will fit like it should... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Last I heard Arizona Z is out of the fiberglass body parts business, but I have a nice SS style hood for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmerman Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I have been told by a few people to stay away from VB fenders. Other products are good but they don't fit good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Well it's not the cheapest route, but you can still get NEW OEM steel fenders from your local nissan dealer. Or call courtesy and order them. Guaranteed perfect fit! They ain't cheap though ~ $250/each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 i would suggest finding a good used set, VB ones suck and do not line up at all, trust me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks280zt Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 NOS stands for New Old Stock, which is replacement parts made during the vehicles original production years that never got sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 $250 doesn't seem bad at all. VB charges $100 JUST for shipping. So tack that on to the $120 for the fender and you're not saving much for a part that might not fit all that well. Yea, usually NOS is parts that have been lying around a while, wich could be good or bad. But someone has to pay for the 20+ years of shelf space wich is why it usually costs a pretty penny.

Guest JAMIE T Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Yep, like others have said. The aftermarket fenders don't fit too good. I have an oem fender on one side and an aftermarket(probably from VB) fender on the other side and it'm having a hard time getting the new one to fit good. I need to find a good used fender. The little bit of bodywork required to make a used fender look good cost's alot less than new aftermarket or new oem. Granted, if you can't find good used fenders, you have no choice. I should add that I have put VB patch panels in my quarters and since this is the only car I have ever done this too, I must say the fit wasn't too bad.
