Fiberglass fenders

Would anyone trust fiberglass fenders for a good fitment and not alot of work to install?? I know how to install normal fenders but have not had any that were fiberglass before so i was just wondering if theres a big diffrence in fitment??


Thanks

Fenders are pretty easy to install. Do you have pictures of the fiberglass fenders or a link?

I wouldnt trust any aftermarket product to fit as good as factory.
Im prettty positive FG fenders would need some adjusting and maybe smootihing of ruff edges.
A body shop could do all that before painting.

Custom Maxima is supposed to have fenders that fit pretty well.

Just because you heard something before and it sounded cool doesn't make it real.

Explain to me how you would adjust a fender?

You cant. Because its a bolt on part. If there are dents then those can be worked on but a fender cant be "adjusted". If the fender is not defective, or molded incorrectly, and it is bolted on properly, the difference from stock-if any- will be minimal.

I like those fenders. They are non metallic and gel coated so your paint might look different from the paint on your body and hood but a good body shop will account for this.

The price is right too. Just make sure they pack and ship the item in a way that doesnt damage the fender.

You may also lose your factory jack point under the front wheels.

Post pics when you're done
