fiberglass fenders

Anyone have anything good, bad or? I was looking at getting a set but unsure on how well they would hold up.

Re: fiberglass fenders

ok then you probably dont want the flared ones as they are like 4-6" flares... meant to cover large tires with little lift...

Re: fiberglass fenders

So would the regular fiberglass ones be a good idea over the steel ones?

Ok how would metal last longer over fiberglass due to the whole rusting issue? You must not live where they put salt on the streets for snow. LOL
