Default Z3 fender help

i just bought a set of z3 fenders. my right front fender was damaged and believe it or not it was way cheaper to get 2 z3 fenders than one oem fender. anyway, the z3 pieces snap in. am i supposed to bondo the edges or can i just leave them snapped in? thanks for any help.

They'd be pretty easy to steal if you just left them as is, assuming someone would want to steal them. It would also look cleaner with them molded in.

How much were the Z3 fenders? You could've gotten an aftermarket OEM style fender for $63:

or an OEM one for $118:

i got them for $185 shipped. i live in hawaii, so you can imagine that the shipping is what killed me. the shipping cost $120 for my fenders. i had found some pretty cheap oem fenders on the net, but the shipping was going to kill me.

I have an aftermarket fender and it SUCKS! That f'n thing so doesn't fit right and the corner doesn't fit right either - it wabbles around in there...

Get OEM!
