    On my cars I like fenders alot, don't have a reason for it. :) But on your car (Hmmmm) I think fenders also just in case I might ever own it. :D Plus there are enough fenderless cars out there, why not be different?????

    Depends on if you already have a good set of fenders or not? If not, I probably wouldn't take the time or money, and invest that into the car for now.

    I've been both with and without. Fenders add quite a bit of exspence plus the car seems to get blown around more at highway speed and I like driving a fenderless cars better. My car, my choice. Your car, yourchoice.

    Anybody can rip the fenders off and call it a Hot Rod. I like most Model A's with Fenders and part of a hood. But don't listen to me. Do what makes you grin.

    Fenders certainly protect your paint, especially on the front.

    :) thanks for all the responces! This is the cat in my avatar i'm talking about. there will be no chop due to myself being a tall person ( i want to be comfy ) and i'll be running the hood with out the sides. If i go with frnders i;ll need to find rear fenders and the running boards, i have fronts and splash aprons (what i do have will require a lot of hammer and dolly work. i'm really torn here be cause i like the looks both ways.

    it is all personal taste, but unchopped sedan = fenders

    I went fenderless on my coupe thinking it would be cheaper, but then you have to spend money on the suspension and all the stuff that shows, so in the long run, I doubt I saved any money.
