Default 2GS fender options

Long story short both of my fenders are damaged and I need to replace them. Looking for what options are out there for our 2GS. If you have any aftermarket ones on your car please post pics and info on fitment. Thanks!

anything aftermarket and even oem will require adjustment/body work (more aftermarket).

I'd get ait fenders but if the rest of your car is stock it would look weird.

so bumping this...although most people don't recommend shaving their front fenders i have had no issues with them for awhile until i broke my outer tie rod and buckled part of the fender so now my fender looks like **** not to mention its now rubbing sometimes.so i been looking around at different styles/brands

does ANY company make a slightly wider front fender and if so how much wider?

im looking into fender options but i probably wont go with the AIT as they will require more body work then buying a new OEM one,shaving it and then painting it plus i prefer to stay away from fiberglass if possible.i mean they dont look bad but the point of the fender where it meets the a-pillar still needs work, along with the bottom fender cap, and the area between the fender and the door (yes i know fiberglass needs work but i dont wanna spend $1000 in bodywork to get these to fit after spending the 400-500 for these)

first off what makes these prussian blues so damn costly? yes i am aware of their "name status" and yes they are metal but are you kidding me? $3653.10 for two unpainted fenders either carson or prussian has lost their minds, i can buy a spare black onyx 202 gs300 for that price and take the fender and part the car

i like these Artisan Spirit fenders but cant find any place for a price on them, the link below is for just the kit which doesnt even include the fenders. cant find anyone who carry's them separately although they are very similar to the AIT fenders i believe these are the real ones and the AIT copied them

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=3212

i dont really care for these either....though i would have liked a side shot really.again though come on, $1126.90 for two unpainted fiberglass fenders? is it carson or the company?

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2696

i can go back to NEW OEM for $238.67 ($54.65 shipping) then shaving it (which i would do myself) and then painting it (which i wouldnt do myself)

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/oem-cat...S430-2001.html

i have seen some aftermarket ones....for as little as 100 but then they want $100 to ship it what a rip! then some aftermarket ones for like $230 + shipping but for that price i may as well get a OEM one

im also entertaining a used one as long as its undamaged, just waiting to hear back from some of our recyclers

They are 10mm wider but are difficult to find and they aren't bolt on, they won't clear the door so you need to have them trimmed so that the doors don't rub on them when you open them. There was a thread a long time ago where someone got them, found out the hard way they didn't fit and then had them modded to work.... May take awhile to find though, been quite awhile since I saw that thread.
