I think $1,000 shipped is a good deal. The quality is there. You could spend less for other reproduction fenders made from thinner metal that you'll have to bend, twist and trim to make fit and never be happy with.

it's $400.00 per fender, $800.00 for both, plus $200.00 shipping anywhere in the U.S.....these do not weigh that much, but they are huge once you get them packed up....alot of volume weight.....

I have not seen any split or early oval fenders for that price for over 20 years. Some BEAT DOWN bullet fenders will fetch the price you list but if you do not do your own body work expect to pay another 2-500 on body work. |

In 20 years lol were have you been hiding under a rock lol I can see the split fenders costing 400 each but oval bullet fenders all day $150 each og paint with patina is what I paid many of times in the past 5 years maybe people are "trying" to sell the oval bullet fenders for more than that but are they selling ?... Dont believe it go to Pomona swap meet youll find some oval fenders there.
Gerson the fenders look sweet and I'm sure you got alot of expensive labor hours in making these fenders I guess if you want to play you got to pay$ lol good luck with it and thanks for reproducing early bug metal now

Congratulations for making decent quality correct fenders.
Do they have the dimples between the bolt holes on the mounting flange?
Also, what is the position with early heater channels - was it a dream, or are you guys looking into these also?
Cheers - Andy, Accross the pond. |

Gerson,
are green split fenders $50 more than your oval fenders? I thought the quote per wing was 450, but just noticed $400 in the oval forum.
Do you have a postage estimate for 2 fenders to the US?

Yes Herr Henry, but I'm sure you read 450 in the split($50premium) bug forum as well.... so I'm just wondering if there is an additional premium on shipping the split fenders too

initially I was going to price the fenders at $450.00....I decided to price them at $400.00 each........shipping costs are the main reason for doing this.....

Only 60 and earlier rear fenders have the dimples between the bolt holes. |

yeah i got mine in the everyothermake swap area, about shit a brick when i spotted it and another brick on the great deal price. the vw swap was great, but alas nothing to write home about.
i think it helped that is was noon and people were packing up due to the mild sprinkling of rain
