replaced the fenders on my 87 lx,
had it painted,
went to put the lower fender extensions and mouldings on the lower front of the front fenders,
the fenders have a different bolt pattern
for the extensions, and the mouldings,
WTF?? anyhow, the fenders appear to have a bit smaller wheel opening, than the 87s, '
when i look up fenders for an 87 it says in the mps site that 79-90 are the same,
i know these are oem fenders from an 85 what gives??
thanks, very frustrated.... lxhatch[/Q
Have you ever looked at the extensions befor? Almost all of the extensions had different patterns. However the fenders are all stamped out of the same mold from 79-93 so the wheel openings ( unless manufactured by a hack artist....and in that case send them back ) will all be the same...and for the extension mounting holes, go get a drill.
