you think @$2,800 is cheap for fenders? I guess that is relative to how much a body shop would charge you to fix whatever is wrong with yours, but they both will need paint.

I've never used a Dansk fender. I have tried to use one of their rear valence panels and I found it to be poorly stamped, so I ended up refinishing a used one.

I've seen a post or two that the Dansk fenders don't fit well but this might have been corrected.

Think about it. My drivers fender looks like dj rust and mc hammer had a battle on it. I could buy the dog leg and bucket for 300 shipped then have a shop spend at least 10 hours getting it back to paint ready for 800. If the dansk fenders are cherry then they would only cost a couple hundred more for a new one that's probally galvanized.

Sunset is cheaper for factory PORSCHE early fenders. I just got some and they are beautiful!

Sunset Porsche is great. I bought my 964 BOV elbow from them for $28
They're $70 to $100 everywhere else
