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 set or rears I had that were the complete rear quarter you would have to cut the complete fender off, leaving just a flange to mount to.
INHO this would be fine for a race/track car or highly modified street car that needs some really big rear wheels. If I just flaring to get 8 inch wheels and was going fiberglass, I would used just flares not rear quarters. Like Jamie, I like the riveted/screwed on look with the right color combination. Jim |
