For those who have fiberglass, can you talk through the process of installation, fitment, shipping (damaged) and customer service regarding these various companies.

For those who have +2, did you wish you went to a +4 or the +6 Deberti or vice versa, with the wider fenders being too much and wishing you went with +2.

Also, has anyone done a comparison of the +2 varients and if they are trully +2 or have some that are wider than others. Could we get som measurements from the hood seam to the widest section of the flare on all varients to confirm?

I put this in the main Gen 2 forum for best traffic but if mods want to move it I understand.

I know one thing about fiberglass: it's very expensive to ship; (the quote below is from ADV for front fenders alone). By the time you include that to the costs to install, fit up, prep & paint new 'glass, that's what keeps most people from doing it.

 

[DAVfoto]

Yes, shipping cost is about 600 per order, no matter if just front or front and rear. That I have done some research on and will have to deal with that when the time comes.

Good point about install/prep and paint. Having costs associated with that could help those looking to go wider, fit Mid Travel or Long Travel into the build and budget for the future (given inflation changes in the future)

I'm installing adv +2 front fenders with their liners sometime over the next 2 weeks. Will report back my experience once I get them fitted. I am running 37s on stock width.

I poked around quite a bit looking at pictures here and on IG before deciding on ADV. They arrived in 10 days from ordering, despite stating lead times was approx 4 weeks.

+2 ADV here…. Wishing I went +4 all around.

FIND a good shop for installation…. That will make or break it.

I’ve noticed a lot of ADV front fenders start to crack from the side vent to the door.

I’m going to give McNeil +4s a try.

Regarding the cracking, has that been happening to you or just some that you have seen? I wonder what is causing that issue to exist.

Mcneil +2 and +4 have mostly been on my radar but it seems that all companies have had issues on reviews as far as research. I guess it depends on what kind of work you can do to fix the cracking like bondo work (I have done some work on C3 Vettes with full fiberglass bodies)

I see it on mine as well as a buddies.

If you get a chance, would love to see the cracking.

 

[mattl600]

I have ADV +2 on my Gen 2 and they were fine could have been a bit bigger as the bedside does get tagged with debris. On the Gen3, I am going Mcneil +4. LineX or Rhino guard the insides (a few layers) to prevent cracking, etc. SVC Mid Travel on both trucks

Are you going 39s?

I did some DIY bed liner to the bedsides to aid with the tearing up of haha.

 

[mattl600]

37s. 39s require a significant amount of trimming, even with +4. I have a double layer of PPF on the front half of the bedside

Yup. I’m worried the +4s are going to look too empty with 37s though. Hell my linked truck already makes 37s look “out of place”.
