I know the ebay ones I saw are steel and the ones sold on ecstuning are plastic. Presume steel is more like OEM?

Stay away from anything on eBay that says duraflex. It is garbage. Look for the proper ones on eBay the m3 rep fenders I'm running I bought off of eBay a few years ago and I love them till this day. Search on eBay for the polyurethane ones pretty much the same material the oem stuff is made from. If I remember correctly I paid less than 400 for the set. Including the side markers and side marker leds

Thanks a ton for that, I'll keep an eye out, ABS plastic on you reps? Also, did those need to be blended?

Other wise the freshly painted part will stand out from a mile away. Just like some post that I've seen here for painted side skirts

Yeah, I'd be all about some steel ones for the e92 if they make them. Seems they are different for the turbo/non-turbo models.

Not true. The ECS Tuning M3 replicas for the E90 are plastic.
