In this video I show/ explain the process of removing the OEM fender to install carbon fiber (or new OEM) ones. Answering the question: “how do you remove the fenders on a 3is?” is something I hope to achieve with this video. 🙂
I hope you all enjoyed! I had a lot of fun making this video, there will be many more to come.

Thanks for the video! Gotta swap my OEM out for another one. This video is the only one I found as you mentioned. This is going to make my life a lot easier. Thanks again, new CF one looks amazing! Also awesome job explaining everything, very well laid out, clear and to the point 👍🏽

@drakowithadraco Год назад

You’re the goat for making this video. I’ve been waiting for someone to do this and now I can finally buy a pair too. How many holes would you say you had to drill yourself?

@Grey3IS Год назад

Thank you!! I figure I’d be the one to make it, since no one had yet. I’m glad I could help out. Please lmk if you have any questions. I had to drill a few holes per fender. For the fender liner clips and to attach it to the bottom mounting points. I guess it depends on the type of fenders and what they have pre-drilled already. Mine were an older production set, so they had a few holes not drilled.

@@Grey3IS Hey man, I'm currently installing the carbon fiber fenders. The holes they made on top for the clips that hold the rubber strip thing that cushions the hood are too big for the clips to click in. I'm thinking I might have to just super glue them on but did you use another method?

@Grey3IS 9 месяцев назад

@@drakowithadraco Yeah, my rubber part kinda just sits on there. It slides into place nicely too once everything is back together. Not like it’s all loose in there.

@8th3IST 15 дней назад

Hey brother, When you transfered the plastic and clips from OEM fender to the CF fender how did you get passed the fact that the CF fender is thicker than the sheet metal of the OEM. The clips aren't long enough because of a 16" of inch or so. Just enough for clips not to click. Did you send down or buy other clips or am I not using my brain here? Thanks in advance

@Grey3IS 15 дней назад

@@8th3IST Hello! Great question. You can do both. Either sand down the CF a little with a dremel or sand paper, or get different/ longer clips. I sanded some areas a little.

@8th3IST Год назад

Bro, get the red and black F sport badges. It looks great on the grey plus it matches calipers

@Grey3IS Год назад

That’s a good point! I ended up getting the same black and white badges that I had on my OEM fenders. Mostly everything on my car is black and white… or grey 😄.

@8th3IST Год назад

My interior is red an my lugs are red and the red sticker on wheel spokes is red, so it made sense for me, plus I never see that color out there. I’m Still waiting on rgb drls from Tanso so I can install the fog lights at the same time.

@Grey3IS Год назад

Damn!!! I’m so excited for you! You’ve got to keep me updated. Feel free to DM me on insta to do so. And for a CF spoiler.. tansowerkz if a great place for carbon fiber parts. But if not Tansowerkz, then I’d look at eBay or Seibon 🙂.

@8th3IST Год назад

The seibon sm style is my favorite. Theyre shaped like the oem spoiler ,but CF. I always worry about fitment. It’s super expensive for a spoiler. Sorry, no social media. Sometimes I go on my wife’s instagram to check photos. I checked yours out a while ago. I appreciate you just focusing on the car

@Grey3IS Год назад

@@8th3IST I agree, it does look pretty nice. And I get what you mean about fitment. I bet they got the fitment for the spoiler down. And all good about the social media 🙂.

Hey, are these fenders wider than oem? Will they allow for a wider wheel and tire set up? FYI, I finally finished my airlift set up that I mentioned to you like 3 weeks ago. Height sensors are beyond a pain in the ass.

@Grey3IS Год назад

Hello! These fenders aren’t wider than OEM. The Seibon ones are slightly wider, but not by much. And that’s awesome! How are you liking it? I’ve been loving mine. And oh man, I bet those height sensors were a pain. 😅

@8th3IST Год назад

I love em!!! It's so crazy seeing my car slammed like that. I almost messed up my oem fenders today. I Didn't straighten my wheels before airing out. It was a close one. Pretty stupid, luckily no damage. FYI, I'm gonna try my 9.5/265 rear wheel/tire set up tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on the fitment. I might have to switch to a 245 or 255. I know I won't be able to air out but that's ok. What brand of tires do you have on your 3IS? Pilot sport 4s have a little meat to them. There are definitely better tires out there for lowered cars needing every bit of wheel well space. I have the Eastwood fender roller in my Amazon cart but I’m not sure I want to pull the trigger. Any advice on that move?

@Grey3IS Год назад

@@8th3IST That’s awesome! And oh yeah, definitely have to make sure your wheel is straight before airing out 😅. And awesome, let me know how the fitment goes. I have Pilot Super Sports. And it could be worth a shot rolling your own fenders, but you have to be careful and make sure you do it correctly. You can definitely damage your car if you don’t do it correctly.

@8th3IST Год назад

What suspension are you rocking? I haven't seen anything in your mod list regarding coil overs or what ever. Car seems low. Which I love! What's up?

@Grey3IS Год назад

Hello! I’m sorry I haven’t added it in any of my mod list videos, I modified the suspension after those videos were filmed. I have the RSR Superdown lowering springs on the OEM shocks. I am also running 20mm spacers in the front and 15mm spacers in the rear. I have -3° of camber all around. 🙂

@8th3IST Год назад

Thanks bro

@8th3IST Год назад

Hey, trying to narrow down options when it comes lowering my whip. I've had coil overs and like the flexibility of them but when it comes to my Lexus I really would prefer to keep oem suspension. My issue is that if I go with the super low option I'm worried that suspension might not be stiff enough. Every coilover I've ever had I pretty much put it to the stiffest setting possible. I live in a shitty city with hills and pot holes. What's been your experience? Have you tried other suspension options before landing on rsr? Any info will help. Thanks in advance

@Grey3IS Год назад

@@8th3IST Unfortunately nothing will be as comfortable as OEM. If you live where there are shitty roads, I maybe recommend coilovers since you can adjust the dampening and height according. Still, they’ll never be as comfortable as OEM. But stiffer isn’t always bad. The RSR spring route is a great way to get low with OEM shock comfortability. But they are fairly stiff and you can’t adjust that.
