How's the Fitment for these fenders?

I am looking to buy one of these fenders, and want to know how the fitment is for these fenders.

I ordered my full carbon fiber ones on Black Friday and they should arrive early January! I haven't seen any reviews. Only a few g's on Instagram. The successful automative mfendz ones seem popular on Facebook groups but more expensive. I think fly1 will have a 25% off deal around Christmas.

I can’t tell a difference between the successful automotive mfendz and these can you. Fly1 is having a sale on the 24th for 25%off which is when I’m buying mine. I’m also getting full carbon fiber too.

Yeah I don't see any major difference. Unfortunately there isn't really any in depth review for them. I'll have a shop in Atlanta help install mine since they've already done it for z's plus they're partnered with Fly1.

This should be interesting. They are not well liked on at least one Facebook group.

Fly1 fenders early this year needed a spacer when fender met bumper because they tried to make them 10mm wider, it just didn't work. Total fail

Now some have complained that the wheel cut out near vent was cut wrong, tire would hit when making full turns. The word is for now that if your using baby tires and your wheel don't stick out it may work. Trying them with a 20x10.5 et25 won't.

Most that buy them don't post pics or report any info.

I'm waiting for iddqd reply & pics

Aftermarket body parts almost NEVER fit well when just bolted on. They almost always require jumping through hoops or a lot of body shop work to get fitment that’s not horrible. It all depends on what you find as acceptable. If you think those fenders look good and they’re some that you’d actually want to put on your car you might be OK with sacrificing OEM fit and finish.

I have an 08 coupe with full carbon fenders from successful automotive that I had professionally installed at a body shop. Instagram is ry_guy_g37s so you can see pics. Fenders line up pretty damn well especially with my outcast garage q50 style front bumper.

I have heard of the fenders being ripped off at high speeds if not installed correctly or not using proper hardware and having holes drilled in the correct locations.

I was very happy when all said in done and i have taken the car into triple digits with the fenders on

Do they both have the same fitment specs? One is a bit cheaper than the other but they seem to be the same
