Wow, that does suck...

No Z3 fenders, though... IMO, they just don't look right.

yea it happens im not that bummed only because its minimal damage. everything still works and such so its not a hudge deal.

but as far as the aftermarket stuff goes and other options

should i just leave my bumper and fenders, and just get a c/f hood new headlights and sidemarkers

are there any nice looking fenders

because just getting a junkyard fender will cost me $156


well im looking around but i havent found anything to interesting

^^ broad term..... whats rice to you the fenders the kit the hood?


eh i want a c/f hood...... what about those SLR fenders

i dont think i will do the kit i duno.... im still up in the air...... i mean if its gonna cost me the same amount of money to replace everything with aftermarket parts than with stock oem parts then y not go with the aftermarket.....



one could argue that i would get better resale with the oem parts though ...



hmmmmmm
