Default z3 fender disaster

today i tryed to install z3 fenders on my car, i couldnt get them to line up and almost broke it when the wind slamed my door close damn near took my hand off.whn i took the fender off i broke my corner light and bent the shit outa my front trim guard"the piece between the hood and bumper then the bumper drops around 4 to 5 inches.come to find out that the mexicans that owned it before me getto rigged the retainer clip screws with soda tops.
then after about 3 hours i gave up. nothing would line back up .this whole day was a total disaster. does any one know of an easier way or does any one know how much a body shop charges for a fiber glass fender installation job?

Its not really your fault. Most of that ebay crap is built like shit and doesn't fit right at all. Not much you can do but just stay away from it.
