Default Are the fenders reversible?

Does anyone know if you can take the rear driver fender and use it on the left front (or vice versa)?

No, I'm not. I can't see why they'd be different but I didn't want to tear the clips apart to find out I was wrong.

I can't see any reason for it not to work, the arches are the same, the head and tail lights are the same diameter in appearance.

Has anyone tired?

I'm asking because I am trying to decide if I need to locate a front clip, or if I can get away with getting another rear and repurposing two of the fenders to the front.

I suppose the angle for the light opening might be off, I didn't think about that. I guess I'll have to experiment.. I just hate tearing the thing apart if I'm not fixing something. Grr.

The mounting angle/crease would be different.
