Interest for High rise(pre-runner style?) Fenders Fiberglass - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey, I'm not a 4x4 guy, so don't really know what you guys want in regards for tire clearance.
I know some people cut their fenders for more clearance.
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in Fiberglass fenders with a larger wheel opening that other wise appears stock.
I'm thinking of modifying some front fenders(67-72) and making fiberglass parts. I would make them with Fiberglass and a Kevlar option, so they are strong and resistant to rock dings and dents.

I'm thinking of making the opening 3" higher and 6" longer front to back.
Not sure if I would flare them out or keep them stock width.
Of course, they would use all stock mounting points.
I'm estimating that finished fenders would be anywhere from $250-400 per fender depending on opening and flare.
Add $100 roughly for Kevlar reinforcement

Please reply with what you would like to see made for your truck.
