Ok guys. No longer will you have to put up with brittle, fragile, cracking POS plastic fenders. If you would like a set of fiberglass fenders, your affordable solution is finally here. the weight is actually slightly less than the plastic fenders (around 3.5lbs) , and it is much stronger. It uses ALL the oem mounting tabs, in the oem locations.  Also fiberglass is easily modified, sanded and shaped, whereas the plastic begins to fall apart in your hands the more you mess with it. With these fenders, you will no longer fear someone leaning on your car and cracking it to pieces. These parts (along with the header panel, hood, and spoiler) will be made to order, and It will take 2-4 weeks (depending on order size) after date of payment before the parts are shipped out.They will come like the one pictured below, with a black jel coat finish. The parts will need sanding and paint, but as you can see it fits quite well. The mounting tabs do not come pre-drilled. Some finishing work/modification may be required for a perfect fit on your crx, professional installation is recommended.  And for all you 3g guys out there, I have begun molding for a rear spoiler - Available soon.
 
 Price : 
One fender - $250 + shipping
Pair of fenders - $460 + shipping (shipping costs the same whether you order one fender or a pair)
 
these are just a few quick picks I took while checking out how well it fit. They will come like this one, with a black jel coat finish. The parts will need sanding and paint, but as you can see it fits quite well. Some finishing work/modification may be required for a perfect fit on your crx, professional installation is recommended.

Was the mold made out of an oem fender or an aftermarket one?

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, ill try and take/post up some more pics tomorrow. these were just some quickies I had on my phone.  But like I said before, the fender pictured, and the ones I will be selling will need sanding and paint to look perfect. If you just try to paint it and mount on the car, it will look alright, but there will be little waves and imperfections here and there. thats just the nature of fiberglass. And to answer Mrfixit's question, the passenger side mold was made off of an aftermarket fender (it was the only good condition fender I could find). I mounted it on the car before I began the molding process just in case it needed any work first, and surprisingly it fit quite well and only minor modification was needed in preparation for molding. The drivers side was made from an oem fender and also was subject to slight work before molding. regardless, fiberglass is easily sanded/added to unlike the plastic. 

 

I should also mention that I will be out of the country in a little over 2 weeks, and wont be back until early July (just in time for the bay area meet). So if anyone would like a fender or a pair of fenders soon, then they need to be ordered within the next couple of days otherwise I wont have time to make them until I get back. Also I only have enough time to make one pair before I leave. first come first serve I suppose.

Bump! I will be arriving back to the states on july 2nd, so anyone who wants a pair of fiberglass fenders can begin ordering. I have sold the first pair, so there are two more pairs available at the introductory price of $350 + shipping. Also oem style header panels in fiberglass will be available sometime towards the end of July for those who are interested. I will also be offering a special price for the first three sold.
