    I hate the idea of having to use fibergl*** rear fenders on my truck but Steel ones are impossible to find. Can anyone give me their thoughts on the 'gl*** fenders? Is there more than one company making them? Which ones are the best quality? Are they pretty much ready for paint without a lot of surface prep?
    Your experience a help is appreciated.

    If your gonna use gl***,,Westcott is one of the best,,,but they ain't cheap,,HRP
     
  3. yes , wescott is the only fenders i ever thought were worth using..but it has been a while since i have messed with a gl*** fender..there may be something new out there

    and yes ,they will need some fitting and prep before paint

    I bid on a steel left hand one on e-bay the other day, it was in good shape and went for over $600.00 with shipping ,way above my budget. When I actually need them will go for gl***.
