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

smokin are you interested in flared glass fenders? or just stock looking glass fenders?/

hotrodhomi · 02-04-2006, 08:26 PM

what are you trying to do with your truck?

**smokinn** · 02-04-2006, 08:37 PM

Looking at either or. As far as what im trying to do is replace some of the body panels to get it ready for paint in the spring.

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

**smokinn** · 02-05-2006, 12:06 AM

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
