HOW TO INSTALL CARBON FIBER FENDERS | GREY 3IS

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 👍🏽

[@Grey3IS]

Thank you my man! I’m glad this video could help. I appreciate your kind words and support.

[@XenkKenny]

Thank you for this, lots and lots of help and clarification

[@Grey3IS]

You welcome! I’m glad I could help 🙂.

[@abulbasernurahmad9823]

You are right you are the only one made video for fender. I was trying to find for my RC-F it just same process thx btw.

[@Grey3IS]

I’m glad I could help! And good to know that the process carries over to the RCF. 🙂

[@SujiiTalks]

Looking good bro! Definitely will have to look into these for my white IS! 🙏

[@Grey3IS]

Thank you! I definitely recommend 😁🙌

[@2slo4u]

They look great! Wish I could afford a pair but they match your car perfectly!

[@Grey3IS]

Thank you my man! I am very pleased with how it looks with my paint color. And if it wasn’t for my buddy Cody (cody.3is), I wouldn’t have the fenders. 🙂

[@drakowithadraco]

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]

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.

[@drakowithadraco]

@@Grey3IS Got it ,thanks. I'm planning on getting the ones that come with the side skirts from tansowerkz. The less holes I gotta drill the better.

[@Grey3IS]

@@drakowithadraco Ooo, yes. I like those!

[@drakowithadraco]

@@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]

@@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]

Hey, so I just ordered the armytrix set up with the CF tips. Can’t wait! Got a few other goodies coming too. Do you have any advice on who I should go with regarding a carbon fiber rear spoiler? Thanks in advance!

[@Grey3IS]

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]

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]

@@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 🙂.

[@amooseo]

Hey bro I’m thinking about getting a carbon fiber hood just like yours I’ve been reading they tend to turn yellowish from the sun have you had any problems with yours ?

[@Grey3IS]

Hello! These hoods have a UV resident coating on them, so I haven’t ever had an issue with fading or yellowing. I’ve seen similar results with other tansowerkz carbon fiber hood owners too. 🙂

[@8742js]

3:26 what is the black thing with three holes that is attached to the door?

[@Grey3IS]

Haha! You’re actually the first person to ask this. It’s called a Jam Handle. It’s so you can fit the tips of your fingers in there to shut the door, so you don’t have to get your greasy fingers on your clean paint. 🤷😄

[@dexzaanosnos6126]

May i ask where did you get the brake calipers

[@Grey3IS]

They’re the OEM calipers, painted orange, with f sport decals.

[@chijeukimbab]

You didnt have to cut the fender liner? It bolts right up to the carbon ones?

[@Grey3IS]

Correct! Didn’t have to cut the fender liner at all.

[@dexzaanosnos6126]

Is it ok on rain with that hood

[@Grey3IS]

Yes. It has drainage routes.

[@8th3IST]

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

[@Grey3IS]

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]

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]

@@8th3IST Ahhh yessir. That makes sense. Well, I’m excited for you to receive the DRLs and install the fog lights 🙂.

[@omarmorales25]

What lowering suspension is in your car? Is that airbags?

[@Grey3IS]

Hello! 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. 🙂

@@Grey3IS looks sick! I love the way it look, cause is not lower on the back🔥🔥🔥

[@Grey3IS]

@@omarmorales25 Thank you my man! Yes, I’m not tucking the back. This drops the height 2 inches

[@AlexRivera-zd8dv]

Did you have to get the carbon fiber parts clear coated after you brought them? By the way your car is bad ass.

[@Grey3IS]

Hey there! They are already cleared when they were made, thankfully. However, the ceramic coating adds an extra UV protectant layer 🙂. Thank you for your kind words and support!! 🫶

[@cloutix.3is]

How many hours would you say it took you to do both sides altogether?

[@Grey3IS]

Hey my man! I’d say it took about 6-7 hours all said and done. I took my time though.

[@8th3IST]

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]

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]

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]

@@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]

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]

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]

Thanks bro

[@8th3IST]

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]

@@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.

[@8th3IST]

Carbon fiber trunk is next...maybe?

[@Grey3IS]

Oooo maybe! That would be cool.

[@xav264]

@@Grey3IS would love to see fitment with tail lights with CF trunk. All of the ones i see with 3is it doesnt sit perfect.

[@Grey3IS]

@@xav264 Ahhh yes. That’s because the Torsion Bars can lift trunk slightly if they aren’t removed. Also some trunks just have better fitment than others.

[@xav264]

@@Grey3IS well i know the seibon trunk has bad fitment. i saw for tansowerks they said that about the bars on the website but idk. i didnt want to spend the money on it and the fitment sucks so it was a deal breaker for me. i have the same tail lights as you so it would be a helpful video.

[@Grey3IS]

@@xav264 I agree. I definitely wouldn’t get a Seibon trunk. Nick, the owner of tansowerkz, has had 3 trunks and they all have had perfect fitment without modification. 🤷‍♂️ And I’d definitely make a video if I got one. 🙌
