Re: aftermarket fenders

I haven't but I don't think I've ever heard a bad review of anything GMCPaul's sells.

Re: aftermarket fenders

You'll find out that even the OEM fenders require tweaking in the fit. I have an aftermarket fender on mine and had no problems with the fit.

Re: aftermarket fenders

Of all the aftermarket sheet metal, I've had the best luck with fenders. Pretty close to the originals. Just check them out real well --especially where they make the bend on the upper front inner corners. Sometimes you need to spot weld them a bit.
