Duraflex 4.5" Bulge Fenders
 
Hey folks, I know there aren't tons of photos out there for fiberglass fenders so I thought I'd share some of mine.

I received them not too long ago in a box with two large holes in it but no damage to the fenders. What I find interesting is that the drivers side fender and passenger side fenders had way different mounting points cast.
Both fenders also seemed to have warped mounting spots on the part that bolts to the engine bay aprons. Nonetheless, I got them to fit and painted them.

Enjoy!

Looks great, thinking about pickup a set of these over the fiberwerx ones. whats your opinion on the dura flex material over the standard glass. does it seem like it will be more durable?

These are flexible right? Fiber worx I've had and didn't like them. Glassworks was always on my old pickup.

It seems to be torsionally more forgiving, but equally as fragile when drilling for bolt holes. They've held up great so far!
