I just got my front end components from A.I.R. today. I was looking at the fenders and was wondering what you guys, if anyone has even purchased these, have done to keep it from flapping in the wind down between the tire and door jam.

I still can't get over how light weight this stuff is. 2 fenders, hood, header panel, and turbo bumper.... 68lbs for all of it including the heavy duty boxes they were in(at least according to the packing slip).

Jack - If I had the kit, and no instructions, and after correctly mounting the kit, have it flapping in the wind - I think I'd put some caulking around it. I'm worried that you'd get water down there and start building rust around on the chassis.

maybe you just mounted it wrong..

I haven't installed them yet, I'll be working on that tomorrow.

But, if you've ever removed the factory fenders, you'd see that there are 3 bolts inside the factory fender that bolts it to the firewall. Then there's a bolt with a thin piece of sheet metal that ties the fender to the underneath of the car, to give the factory fender some rigidity.

The thing I'm worried about, the AIR fenders do not have the strip to allow them to be bolted to the firewall, nor do they have a tab for the sheet metal bracket. The only locations on them for bolting them to the car, are along the top inside the engine compartment.

I'm sure these things are supposed be used with race fasteners, but I want a clean factory look.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow to show what I'm referring to.

I'm sure AIR would just reply with "Take it to a body shop, they'll put them on."
