Haha, saw these browsing through L-tuned parts the other day as well.

The company is Prussian Blue, and yes for both fenders is 2800..

Too rich for my blood...

Gotta admit, they look tight, but wow. The price is crazy, and you still have to get them put on and painted

Default cheaper way

I think someone could find a amg benz fender, or a crossfire fender or a m3/m5 fender and make something similar for cheaper

You don't need all that. Just get the SL fender ducts from Garson or the likes (around $300-$400 I forgot) and cut a hole in your stock fender, graft the duct in and repaint. It will still be a lot cheaper than $2800.

Sigh, the functionality of vents is to let out air of the more power engine, in cars that have vents....its for cooling.
Aston Martins is a tradition, on the side of the car....

I guess companies do sell Z3 like fenders so this was coming.

It looks like a very good job though, IMO.

IMHO these fenders dont look too good, and certainly arent worth $2800. If someone were to do this they could probably get better results with JTanoyo idea, and a competent body shop.

Ouch bud, that hurts . Yea they are pricy but to ME they were worth it. I also got a pretty good deal so didnt quite pay that much. I will post some pics in a few weeks when the car is completely finished.

My comment wasnt meant to offend anyone. I apologize if I did that. It also depends on what color your car is. I think if you take the chrome pieces in the openings and wrap that with CF it would look better.
