The ONLY reason they turned out well is my auto body guys (Galaxy Auto Body in Newton, MA) take very good care of me, and put MANY hours into correcting the deficiencies those fenders came with.

If I had it to do over, I would go with the Trufiber vented fenders. The design isn't quite as nice to my eye, but the higher quality would MORE than make up for that and the somewhat higher initial cost (which would be more than offset by lower prep costs).

The car looks awesome, especially that hood. But what is up with those tailpipes?

The deal with the tailpipes is 2014 GT500 Çorsa mufflers on a 2005 car. I need to get the tips shortened, but have yet to find a proficient stainless welder in the Boston area that does car work.

Yes, different.

The top half is smooth for paint, the bottom half textured. There is about a 1/4" groove between.

They also look different from the side. Instead of level at the bottom like stock, they curve upwards a bit at the bottom in the center.
