Who's Front Fenders are Best

Just wanted to know what experience anyone has had with front fenders from Chevy Duty or LMC as far as fit and quality. I can pick up both locally and save on shipping.

It's my understanding that there are just a few (maybe just one???) manufacturer. If that's true, it doesn't matter who you get them from.

I try to spend my money locally. If I can't get something local, I'll get it from those that help me (board vendors).

Re: Who's Front Fenders are Best

I don't know what kind of shape your original fenders are in, but I made it a goal to use my original fenders when one day at the shop, I was moving my fenders to a back room for storage and found my buddy's aftermarket fenders against the wall. His needed to be moved for room and I noticed how much lighter and thinner the aftermarket ones were. I'd guess that they are about 1/2 the weight of original. They looked great after install, but I just felt like I should keep as much OEM as possible. I only had to replace one front corner under the battery box and do some dent repair.
