How was the fit and finish on those? Did it take much convincing to make them fit right? I'm thinking of going that way cause I'm going to have to replace the driver's side.

Cheers, Josh

Is that with or without the 5 lbs of undercoating? My left front probably weighs 11.4 lbs now.

That's the weight of a stock fender, as it came off the car, complete with coating.

Fenders with no coating are like really really light. They are around 10lbs~. The yeller has fenders with no coating and they were light.

I actually bought the car with the fenders on it. The front end doesnt look perfect to be completly honest, but it looks damn good enough for me. Its just the spacing between the hood and the fenders that is a little outta wack.
