I imagine the cheaper ones might not fit *** well, you get what you pay for usually

I have metal ones. They fit perfect and look great. They will not rust. Your stock fenders are metal and they don't rust. The fiberglass suck and don't fit so good.

I suggest you not put them on, ofcourse you can do what you want. But in my opinion they look terrible. But then Im the kinda guy that would take an S2000 over a Z3... i guess im wierd [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I'd take an S2000 over 2 z3s man. (I kno I can sell the Z3 and get much more into the S2k, but lets say I couldnt...like it was a gift) I personally hate the Z3's but the fenders are pretty nice.

I heard some of the z3 fenders are kinda cheesy and all they are made out of are thin sh**y metal that you could bend with one finger, just get a non-functional hood scoop hehe j/k.

does cheapo Z3 fenders.. reduce safety in an accident any? i would imagine the stock metal fenders are designed to crumple and absorb as much energy as possible.. dont think those cheapo fiberglass ones would help u very much in a front end accident

Good point AzNmiKex215 I bet that messes up the Crumple zone that everycar has. BUt at the same time so does a kit or a new hood anykind of modification like that would throw it off I guess.

i think jux fiberglass stuff would throw it off more.. maybe if u had metal Z3 fenders taht would still retain some of its energy absorbtion properties.. and as far as kits go.. maybe urethane is just as strong as stock bumper material?

I can say this, I'd take a Z4 over an S2000 any day... Z3, I dunno.
