Ray, You may want to measure the mounting holes on those fenders for the badges and the lights. I got some early fenders from James thinking they were the same as on my wagon, but I ended up having to relocate all the holes. I actually cut that section out of one of my old fenders, so a template does exist. (We could also cut them out of yours if they're bad and need to be replaced.) If I recall correctly, I had to move everything back about 1/2". Sounds complicated, but it was actually pretty simple.. Don't know if the Coupe is the same location as my wagon, but you can see how much farther back the hole for the side marker light is then the one in your pic.. James would know. And as usual, I could just be talking out my ass. If so, then never mind.... Edited June 11, 2019 by Duncan 5 Link to comment
