well you have a couple of options

1. plastic re-new a plastic restoration kit that involves alot of sanding ( not personally fond of it)

or you COULD paint them, krylon fusion paint is designed for plastic, and for some it holds up good

but if you have the money then i would just buy some new plastics, you can get oem or even maier fenders for a fair price

well, thats a tough call,

i would imagine front and rear maiers would be somewhere upwards of 400 bucks, maybe more, maybe less, check there site out,

i have no clue what OEM would run you, you could check with a local dealer

You could buy a mold for the plastics and melt your old ones into it and it'll look brand new.

Yeah it's possible. Though, i think you would have to go to honda or maier and steal their molds haha. You could make a fortune if you had one of the molds..
