If I remember correctly you need two different fenders one for the coupe and one for the RAGTOP. There is a difference between the two.
FYI

If you do a group buy and give an even further price reduction for pre sale that would definitely sweeten the pot!!!

It really doesnt make sense to make TWO different molds JUST for our cars...

I dont see why all of us cant easily find a fender that can suit al models.I think making two different molds also is gettin a little picky.

Just My opinion

There is a difference , the vert is 1/4 inches longer from end to end and if not then each owner of a vert would have to have a body shop add glass, shape etc. I have L5 fenders and by mistake was shipped coupe and they were off at door jam, they sent the correct vert ones. By your reasoning , make the fenders for a vert and the coupes can then cut the fender to fit

Ok obviously he would have to make some changes to fit FRC/Vert/Z06 body styles compared to a coupe. I guess I misunderstood your statement, I thought that was a no brainer lol especially for someone making them.

Well guy's the fenders I have are off a coupe, I know the verts are a bit different and I don't know what my manufacturer wants to do about that, guess i'll have to find out.

The ACP stealth kit looks great and has a much smoother look.
