Very disappointed about my fenders!

I think the issue Zeeoh6vette is having here is that he may not want to trash the vendor, as he may be a nice guy, and customer service is good, but the product delivered was less than satisfactory.
I myself was 1 click away from pulling the trigger last night, but then found this thread.
@Patches: I notice that the DD fenders are pre-drilled, is this the case for all of the fenders?
Thanks,
Nick

Then he can say that. The best customer service in the world won't make me buy a **** product. It helps if they refund and are understanding of the issue, but if their product is bad it needs to be known.
To make this thread, have everyone worry about what fenders are good or bad and then not even say the company that you bought the bad ones from is just stupid. Nobody's saying he needs to bash the vender, but if the product isn't good the product isn't good.

if thats the case,
then be consistent about it and flame fake/replica wheels for its very low quality and safety issues but i dont see non of that here on the corvette forum,
I guess its when price starts to get expensive for quality parts, all of a sudden low quality is accepted and praised? wtf............

I don't necessarily think that's the issue here, the issue is expensive parts and cheap quality control... I am not a fan of china wheels but to be fair most of the people that buy those do so purely for looks so if it looks decent to them and balances out they are happy... most of them probably don't drive their car very fast at all either let alone track it so I don't think safety would be much of an issue... I am not defending those wheels and I get what you are trying to say, I just don't think it's relevant to this particular issue... if this was an isolated case things might be a little different but the truth is it isn't an isolated case... I haven't been "inconsistent" and neither have any of the other posters in this particular thread, sorry if my answer is not politically correct enough for you
This^ about the wheels, I don't like them either but any "normal" person will just buy them and put them on. As long as they balance and don't come cracked or break when he hits a pot hole. They are just fine. You can't really tell the quality is not as good unless you have it right next to a high quality wheel and feel how heavy and maybe cheap looking the replica is.
Once you open the box of a fender and see its "wavy" like he said or it doesn't bolt up, that's obvious and people will complain.
There's a lot of praise on good parts all over this forum, not enough negative being said and venders stepping up to fix it or just stop selling junk. If someone like the OP gets ripped off (even if he does get his money back) it's a hassle and inconvenience. I'm not gonna keep beating a dead horse, but it needs to be said who the fender is from. Even if he gets a refund, it's junk.. Why wouldn't you want to let people know that.

You came to market quickly with your flared rear quarters, certainly quicker than most

I'm guessing everyone already with flared rear quarters no matter who the manufacturer will want front flared quarters...seems like 1" would be the sweet spot IMO. Get the R & D started, we need wide-body C5's...not just wide-booty.

I would be interested but with more flare than the L5 fronts (3/4"). Currently have the L5 2" on the rear and would love to get some of that C3 "coke bottle" shape when I look down the sides of the car. Your suggestion of 1 1/8" probably more in line with what I would like to do.
