    Best Aftermarket Fenders?

    The fenders on my 98 323is are rotted out at the bottom and I want to replace them. The car is getting rustier as it ages, but it still looks great from 10 feet. I want to replace the bolt on panels and preserve the rest as best I can with Fluid Film. The fender rust is hidden by the side skirts, but I still want to replace them. I already have a clean decklid as mine is rusted at the bottom lip. I need to buy a pair of fenders and as much as I'd like to buy a pair of OE ones, I don't want to spend that much on them. Any suggestions for reproductions?

    I would just buy the set on eBay for $104 shipped.

    I ordered one of these but have not fitted it yet.

    I think they are sold on eBay as well. I will have to cut the hole for the side light. Beware there are no hole, early hole with retaining screw and late hole fenders. Late hole are hard to find. I would have had to buy new, which was about $328. Probably a better fender though. I found a used passenger side years ago but it’s still in a box also and I am moving do this project is now even more delayed.
