I got a set of stainless steel wheel well trim, is this what you're talking about? I like it alot, it accentuates the curves around my wheels, and its easy to take off in the winter. This only cost me $75

hes talkin about the actual fender, doing something like z3 slots in them, not just the trim.

Well, since SOMEONE didn't reply to my first post, I guess either they don't have a Grand Am photo, or he wants us to find it on our own even though he brought it up. I found the website, but i dare not post a pic let alone mention the website, being forbidden and all. So for a pic, go to the main menu to the left side of the page, click BODY KITS ETC., click 99-02 GA, click BODYKITS. Somewhere on that page, should be a navy blue GA with the fenders, not the ugly-ass yellow one.

But for those who don't want to go through all that, here's a photo of them on a Cavalier. Just imagine it's an Alero.

well I know what your getting at... first things first.
I'm not making these fenders just pushing to get them made.
They told me the more people that will commit with half down the faster they would be made.
If we get 20+ they would be top priority
10-15 average priority
less than 10 low priority.
they didn't give an exact time frame.
I'm sure if we came with a list of people intrested they would look deeper into making this a reality for us.

Cant really tell. Did they flare the fender out some or is that still the original shape of it.

looks to be for the most part the original shape

as far as price. under 600 for brand new custom fenders is cheap.
oem replacements are more than that

uh, where you getting your fenders??? If it's costing you over $600 for oem fenders I'll sell them to you for $500, cause I and anyone else could get them for under $125.

and I'm not sure we should be pushing *** products on here....

ducksp
07-28-2004, 04:00 AM
Not to start a war but there is nothing wrong with ***. They make very high quality products. I speak from experience. I'd be willing to buy them if they made them. I need to replace a fender anyway. Unfortunetly I'm very broke right now so I can't front any coin right at this time. Is that $600 for the two?

Do you actually believe the line of BS?

oem fenders going for more than $600...........maybe if they were gold or titanium.


Hell when robbie did his custom fenders they were for $400. Granted they weren't glass or epoxy or whatever. they were oem replacements with custom vents in them.

So how can you justify $600 being a great price? The only reason they are that much is they can pay back for the mold.

did you read the post prior to that?
guess not.
its been a while since i've priced fenders.
so I was wrong. dont act like you never make a mistake.
the fenders rob was doing had a core if I remeber right. no core made them cost more. and they werent oem fenders with vents they were aftermarket which drops the cost as well.
and all he was doing was grafting a vent to an oem fender. they were not built from scratch.
also I was going off current grand am prices. it was a guess.

they will fit without a body kit. vents can be functional if you mod the inner fender liner

They are very clean looking fender and you know there stong because they are made from the same company that make bumpers that take more abuse than gm fenders ever will. But John hope you can get some support for the alero but you should be getting plenty from me because now they will have an alero to toy with. Good luck. :thumbsup:
