    I hate the idea of having to use fiberglass rear fenders on my truck but Steel ones are impossible to find. Can anyone give me their thoughts on the 'glass 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.
     
  2. If your gonna use glass,,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 glass 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 glass.
