Rear Fender
Not for sale
Much of the ZDX’s athletic appearance is the result of tis deep rear fenders. They not only contribute to the vehicle’s bold stance but also allow the lines running down the side to converge at the rear, as if they were being pulled back tautly. Creating them required a deeper draw of sheet metal than on almost any other vehicle in production and necessitated the development of new manufacturing processes to help the metal slip cleanly from the die. The single-piece construction was crucial in retaining the fluid, seamless nature of the original design.
