fits fine... not sure what is meant by cutting the fenders? you have to enlarge the hole under the stock 240sx airbox to make room for 2 pipes to pass through, but not by much!

If you have a 89-90, then you have to cut a hole in the front bumper to feed air to the intercooler. If you have a 91+, the use the vent under the turn signal for air.
