Mods:
This is a thread to gauge the interest in 5th gen fiberglass fenders. It needs to be in the 5th gen sub section. If you are going to move this thread too at least have the decency to tell us who it is and why you are doing it. Jeez. [MENTION=1857]fourwd1[/MENTION]: Read his thread again.

So is this some sort of group buy? Sorry, I didn't search or read the FAQ

No. It was just to get the ball rolling. 5 person commitment to get them started making. I don't think there was any sort of group buy incentive being offered aside from being able to finally have glass fenders.

Sorry but that was pretty crappy what they did to Joneseyyy's thread.

So let's get this going...

We need new style front end fenders for Glassworks to work with, but if they get a set they will make the fenders. I haven't heard back if they want to make an interchangable filler for the head light difference or if they will just make everyone get the newer headlight design. I also don't know if the donor gets free fenders but I suspect this to be the case.

Who is near Huntington Beach that wants to make this happen?
If so contact Glassworks at:

Here's my latest convo with Glassworks:

Aren't the fenders themselves the same from 2010-2015? The change is the OEM flare where it integrates into the front bumper cover. Where the headlight interfaces with the fender is the same but different where it goes into the front bumper cover.

Just a heads up Glassworks is not a very reliable company. It took them 3 months and lots of ignoring my emails and phone calls to make my Tundra fenders and that was after I called my CC company. They still didn't get my order right because I paid extra for a fuel door and they didn't do that at all. Now they are ignoring my phone calls again. I have also read similar reviews about them with other people online. Just a FYI

Idk?

Even better, we need ANYONE in the Huntington Beach area to volunteer some fenders...

That's a shame.. cause this looks pretty nice:

So would these bee like fender flares?

I'm in SD, I could potentially drive my car up and leve it with them for a couple weeks if there was an incentive involved

 

[nismoxr34]

Same here, I live around 10 minutes away from them. I could lend them some fenders or my car, but need it some times. So I don't know if I could leave it for a couple of weeks unless there was some incentives. I'll contact and see whats up.

 

[nismoxr34]

So I contacted them, I can leave my fenders with them after a month. Looks like they won't get started until then. How many are interested? and I'll bite the bullet and get something fabbed up for you guys!

They said the person who donates the fenders (they don't need your whole truck) gets a set of fenders at the cost of materials and one hour of time. IDK what that would come out to but my experience with Fiberglass suggests about half price. Again no reason to leave your whole truck, they just need the fenders.

No doubt there are easier comps to work with...

Yeah, it's practically a home business and he's more technically proficient than business savvy from what I've seen. Very small staff.

I like the look a bit better than fiberwerx:

 

[Swarty]

Sweet!

Sweet make sure they know they don't have to make it work with the stock bumper. You can't run larger tires with it so there's no point. We don't want it looking like that wonky fiberwerx version.

News?
