You know coupe fenders are different than sedans

Yea, i read somewhere on here that if i want the body to line up, that i need the coupe fenders for the front conversion. If they dont fit, i can always sell em and buy the sedan fender instead.

They don't line up at the pillars. I looked already for mine cuz I have a coupe bumper swap done. The bumper to fender gap is not that bad with the swap. I wouldn't get them if your getting it painted just find any color sedan fenders.

I will find a way to make the sedan fenders fit properly with the coupe bumper and when I do I will post it for all to see

It would be cheaper to just fill the fender to match the bumper. Way cheaper, all my family is in the paint and body industry.
