Ummm, I dunno, I personally like the stock fenders. If you want to go that route though, by all means it's up to you. I would try to verify the way they fit before you spend any money on them though. ALOT of the fiberglass aftermarket parts leave alot to be deisred as far as fitment goes. You can get new OEM style fenders for about $60 each if there is a Certifit or ABS Auto Supply in your area.

z3 fenders where cool about 4 years ago. Well not cool but tolerated. Now, not so much.But like they said of you like them, it's your car, just make sure you can back up the modifications outside with some speed. You don't want to look fast, you want to be fast.

I had Z3 fenders on my first civic, had a little accident and it was cheaper to get them than an OEM Honda fender, so I did. this is 4 years ago. I was one of the first to do it locally and I was "the ----" for about 2 months :-X :-X :-X. Well anyhow, back then they where around $350 for the good brand name ones.

Now you can find them on ebay cheaper, I haven't checked in a long time, but probably around $150-$180 plus shipping.

Personally OEM is the best look on hondas, maybe a little lip here and there.

I'd get rid of the hood for a mismatched stock one. It could be bright pink with a giant black hotrex MS paint style cock on it and be less gay than the current one you have.

Other than that it looks like a good car.

yeah but the fenders on my car are pretty beat up. i don't think you can see it from the pics, but they are. this lady who lives one or two doors down went nuts and set her fish on fire and threw a bike over the balcony and hit my fender, so i think primer black z3 fenders wouldn't be that bad.

OEM look replacements are cheaper and will look and fit better.

But again it is your car. I don't think you will get a lot of support for those Z3's here on HMT.

yeah i didn't think i would. but the lip kit is a bitch, cuz i gotta buy the ------- jdm front bumper and core support, just so i can buy a jdm lip. they don't make them for usdm civics like mine.
