Fiberglass Fenders Info/ Directory

So I'm looking at getting 35's and a pre-runner style front bumper and such, but I'm not sure what to do about the stock front fenders. If I'm trimming most of the fender liner anyway, I might as well get fiberglass fenders right?

Most people seem to not like the look of Fiberwerx's but I think it would match the flat rear fender on mine better and they seem to stick out the least. I know none of these options are "bolt on" and require lots of time to line up and prep for paint, but I'm just wondering what everyone's experiences are with these products.

There seems to be a couple options other than leaving them stock:

(If you have some you want to post of yours below, go for it)

1.) Trim what you have per Happysmiley's and Troymclure's rigs:

2.) JDM Fender Flares/ Burtman Industries

3.) Fiberwerx 4.5" fenders like Joel's on 120 and Bala de Plata's:

4.) Glassworks (Now called Advanced Fiberglass Concepts?) like the Josh's or Chad30's:
4.5" Flare 2" Rise

5.) McNeil 4" fenders like LTDSC's and Mcneil's website:

My only complaint with them is that they look weird since the rear fenders are stock.

Chad30's aren't stock check out his build thread. I think it looks great because there is some sort of flair to them stock regardless.

I have the fiberwerx and love them. I like how they taper down in the front to match the factory bumper width rather than the glassworks or mcneils that stay wide all the way down. I feel like it works better with the rear flares being stock and not as wide. Also like the squared edge, think it gives an aggressive front.

Wow, the front of your rig looks incredible.

Good job, you might as well put the jaos fender flares from burtman. they technically are front fiberglass

Ive actually been working on one, so soon enough. Taking a long time to write up though, lots of mods spread out over 4 years

What rear fender flares are those?? They stick out much further than stock. I like them.

Are these custom sheetmetal work or a fiberglass kit? I like how very streamlined the front and rears look.

Has anyone seen, installed, or heard anything about duraflex fenders? They are basically exact replicas of the fiberwerx for under $300. Debating on grabbing a pair and checking them out... :wow2:

So did you ever get these? Just saw this post and realized they're on sale for $250.
Don't know much about them.
