only reason i ask, because i want to buy new fenders, but they have diff part # from NISSAN. the price difference is alot more too, but the pics look the same. 91-94 fenders are 40-50 dollars more.

someone shed some light on the subject PLEASE!

Thats what i thought i just wanted to clarify. its def bs for autopart stores to charge more for same fender only because its supposed to be for a less aged car.

ACTUALLY... they are slightly different. They both fit on any s13, but the 91-94 fender has something on the bottom front so that you can attach the bumper extension. i got an 89-90 fender for my chuki when i crashed it and had to customize how i attached the fender extension. So if you have an 89-90, get that fender not the 91-94 because you'll have this ugly circle thing on it that attaches to the fender extension

This is true, I know because the previous owner stuck me with one of each

correct, they are slightly different.

1) chuki fenders have 1 more mounting hole to the sides of the front bumper

2) fender extention holes found on chuki, not on zenki fenders

3) I think the zenki fenders have about 1cm-2cm more wheel clearance than chuki fenders

at least through my experience

Boils down to two dime sized holes in the 91 up fenders(for the fender extensions)...
