I am looking at getting fiberglass fenders (.....yes I know metal fenders are better) there are 2 main styles one is just the fender and one has more of the body molded into it. My question is do you have to cut the hole side of your car up to fit these? Or just enough to fit bigger wheels and the fiberglass sits on top? Anybody have info or an opinion of which FG fenders are best?pros cons.......ect

The GT Flares are most common. They come in different forms. Some incorporate the whole rear quarter. Most are the flare with enough material to bond or rivet. I kind of dig the rivet look depending on your build. Either way yes you are cutting your metal to fit. Otherwise adding the flares would be pointless. You couldn't put wider wheels & tires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
