Why not get the dry carbon vinyl. That stuff looks and feels real and it won't break the bank. True you don't get the weight saving, but at least you know it won't crack and peel.

Yes i've heard about that, but that's something i would do back in high school. But i definitely want the real deal. VISRacing selling them at around $500+ each. meanwhile i'm looking for body shop if they can mold carbon fiber fenders

the gd3's fenders are already super-light. is it really worth $1,000 to save 1 or 2 pounds?

i would get a cf bucket seat instead.

I just want to get some refurbed fenders for cheap and pull those baby's while they're off, and then put them on my fit. Then I'll have the stock fenders to go back on if I ever have a change of heart. They're going for about $160 right now.
