Z3 Fender Inserts...

[jkbreazeale]

After buying a pair of them off of ebay... I was thinking... "Hey! These would look pretty good on the car. I'll actually cut into my fender and install them"

End result: Looks like poo... inserts are rather pointless, more cosmetic appeal at best. You'll go through about 6 dremel cutting discs, a couple of bandages, and ultimately a new set of fenders.

Learn from my experience and don't install these... you'll hate them and I promise! Pictures are available upon request.

Actually, here you go... just couldn't resist the embarrassment anymore!

Harsh man... good idea, but doesn't look all that appealing on our cars

Photoshop could have saved that...

Yeah but Photoshop wouldn't have recovered my pride.

Thanks for posting this. These kinds of posts are as useful as "It turned out great!" posts, but few would have the gumption to show that they made a mistake.. I know I wouldn't have thought to post something like this.
Long ago, when new MX-3s still roamed the earth, some guys on here put those in, and you could get fiberglass fenders with them molded in, and I thought they looked okay (not for me).
I thought about molding them into my hood, when I make one out of fiberglass, but it looks like they're too small.

ouch.
You can always put the FG Z3 MX fenders on instead... some body mods really are not worth it

I was thinking about using them as hood inserts instead because they are actually a decent size. Well... the fenders were already damaged for they have dents in the corner where it rounds into the bumper so I guess I now have a reason to get some newish ones.
