The hard part is getting them to fit properly. You're going to spend a bunch at a body shop to have them fitted, body work, and paint. Nobody is posting any details or rates they have had to pay in order to have these put on, which might tell you something. Idk if that tells you anything. I bought them in one of the first production runs (October 2019 :surrendr:), and they're still not installed. I spent a lot of time messing with them (I'm not a body guy), but someone who is familiar with metal work should be able to get them to fit nicely, pretty easily. I can tell you this, the corners of the fenders that meet the bottom of the A pillar need a LOT of work. If you look closely at any pics of these fenders you will usually see awkward gaps because of the way they're produced.

Yeah what he said. I got rid of mine because the fitment was shit and I don’t feel like spending the money on paint and body work when I had downforce fenders that fit and we’re already painted.

Vaikhari Fenders
Yeah I didnt know there was a downforce brand or I wouldve bought that instead. My buddy had gotten them and i thought he got the Vaikhari ones too. Well I dropped mine off at a shop here in Houston and well the estimate at first before work was roughly 2400. So they start working on it and I get the call saying hey these are going to need quite a bit of work to fit properly, said hes going to have techs come up with a time frame then get back with another price

Yeah don’t fall into the sunk cost fallacy. Just cut your losses and buy something better. Hell for the same amount I bet they could widen the oem fenders.
