Chrome inner fenders

Was wondering if anybody has any experience or pics of chrome inner fenders. Wanted to get some feedback and see how they look before I decide if I want to get them or not.

It doesn't seem like many people have them. That might be more of a reason to get em.

To me it depend on how much you don't mine polishing,and if it a garage/show truck or a driver. All mine I inter in truck shows, but they are not like most show trucks. Go from the show to the garage until the next show. I enjoy crusin in mine,not leting it sit. Also I don't like spending my crusin times polishing extra chrome under my hood. Everyone if diffrent. Other wise everyone would be drivin the same thing. My 2 cents is, A clean power coated or nice painted and waxed,engine compartment looks nice. But then again thats me !! "Tracy"

I would only get thise if it was a show truck. In the picture I think the red inner fenders would look just as nice. IMO

I think they are cheesy and no better than a tuck-n-roll 80's velour interior. It won't take long before one gets a rock chip and start to peel. Plus you know how hard it is to keep a mirror clean?

I only thing I like about them is the reflections. Mine are painted glossy and they are a pita to keep clean. For and all out show truck trailered they wouldn't be too bad.
