jdm fenders with side markers
 

ok so i was looking on passwordjdm and i came across these

http://www.passwordjdm.com/product.a...For=&PT_ID=258

1st of all are these worth it? and how are the jdm fenders different from the usdm fenders. im thinking about gettin these. cause i now have a hook up on paint so it wouldnt cost me much to get them painted. so what do you guys think?

i would say it's not worth it unless your fenders are dented/broken right now. :shrug:

yeah but im nervous about cutting into my stock ones to make holes for the side markers.

DIY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not that bad

i usally do alot of diy's but im just nervous about this one. altho i was nervous about blacking out my headlights but i just did it anyway

Only difference: hole for sidemarker. That's about it. :shrug: Not worth it if you've not crashed recently.

dont be a puss DIY I did it and If I can then so can you

i dont think the fenders from pjdm.com is real jdm fenders.. i bet its an aftermarket fender with sidemarker cut to fit the lights..in the paragraph it states its a jdm style fenders..

Makes sense. :shrug:

i was very nervous too, but its easy and just remember measure twice, cut once. youll be happy in the end, and thats a rediculous waste of money to buy those.

ok ok ill do it my self....only cause hayz did it. and if he did it it must be easy :giggle: ill be pming you soon for some detailed instructions lol

measure on the fender using the body line and edge of the fender as reference points, find a spot you like them in and measure that on the other side too, now trace the sidemarker, cut the hole maybe 1/8th an inch smaller and pop in. there is a good DIY article on here.

i didnt even measure really. just cut a hole, stuff it in, and make sure its level with a bubble thing. drill in the middle first, then use sheet metal nibblers to cut out around it. i went too much on one but its not really noticable. just make sure they're not crooked.

diy :D if u mess up buy those on the site ahaha

good luck bro...im thinkin bout cuttin a hole myself

dremel tool worked great for me. I was scared at first but once you get used to cutting that gaping hole you relax. The first hole took me like 45 mins the second was like 15.

Good question mugen, was wondering the same thing. Was going to get the s2k sidemarkers from that site... let me know how it turns out and let me see how they look!

paragraph says they are "JDM spec" usually pwjdm will say "genuine JDM" if its real... so i'm guessing they are USDM fenders that have been professionally cut using a template from the JDM fenders...

but hey, its the closest thing to JDM without getting the actual fenders overnight shipped from Japan...:tup:

lol oh i will man.....soon as you dirve your goofy ass down to cincinnati :giggle: :lol:


im jus gonna order the sidemarkers and pray to god i dont f*ck it up!

It would be a waste of money buying an oem fender with a hole premade in it when you can get the light for what, 30 most

JDm fenders
 

I work at a body shop/collision center. I write the estimates and work in the office. But, if you get the fenders and just paint them, you will probably end up with a color difference between the fenders and the doors. No matter how much we color match the paint it is always slightly off because there are so many variables that can cause a color difference. (i.e. air pressure, the painter, humidity, etc.). Sometimes the color will look right when looking at it straight on, but when yo check the "side tone" from on an angle the color can be off.
P.S. I cut my fenders to install mine, not that bad.

OK, whatever you do do NOT buy these fenders. I got them and they were all warped. Save yourself the trouble and either

A) Cut your oems
B) Get some fenders from the coupes in Europe (stock sidemarkers)

lol... who you calling goofy! :rofl: :moon:

did you order the sidemarkers and the harness or just the sidemarkers? cuz i was thinking about getting those too but then i just decided when i get home from deployment (less than 3 months) i'm gonna order the sidemarkers and maybe the harness but i want to know if the harness works for our cars or if they are for the ep3. i know the site says jdm ep3 sidemarkers..blah blah blah. well post a pic and what not when you get done with them! good luck

no the harness doesnt work because we dont have sidemarkers! so harness is useless. mine came with one and its just sitting in the engine bay somewhere. i should've just chopped it off.

they also had fitment issues....ask smuggler

Fitment = crap

oh ok thanks gearbox... you always come thru. hey smuggler, you saying that the ones from password jdm are crap as far as fitment? in what way? where do you recommend me getting them from? thanks ya'll i appreciate it!

I recommend you either cut your OEM's, or try to get your hands on some fenders from a coupe in europe

Yeah, just DIY, it's not as bad as it seems, only took me about an hour.
