RickM415 · #1 12-23-2010, 02:55 PM

I tried to do some research on this fenders ..has anyone had any obstacles when it comes to fitment ? welding required ? i did noticed at the sema show that the line on top of the fender was a bit rounded instead of being sharp

any input would be welcome

whats the weight on this fenders and hood ? thanks

The lines are the exact same lines as the steel repro fenders. The fitment is good but not perfect. I have been doing this long enough I used plenty of New GM when it was available, they were not perfect either. These cars never passed the Lexus ball bearing test.

Weight savings for the entire front clip is 115 LBS

Let me know if you decide to use them

I believe Gaetano (Track Junky) has an aluminum clip on. Get ahold of him.

What is the cost range for an entire front aluminum clip?

No welding. If anything if you was going for the Lexus ball bearing gaps you could do some minor welding on the door edge.

Nope, AMD makes only Camaro aluminum parts
