Glass fenders opinion

[13RAPTOR4]

Ok guys.. I just put on 37's and need glass. I know this is an "old" topic, but I know things have change with manufactures and I would like some feed back

Thanks!

From what I've read.. Get the newer non-melting boatecs

Been considering this too. Been looking at Glassworks. They also sell the inner liners too, which is a huge must in my opinion.

Fit and finish is my first overall concern.

My concern as well.. Fitment and finish.. I'm hoping I can find a a set that are straight paint and bolt on. Inner liners are a must as well.

Glassworks fenders have been around for a long time and are pretty easy to line up an install and the inner liners aren't stupid expensive either!

Not sure if you all have ever done aftermarket body parts on any of your vehicles, but fit and finish will be anywhere from 8/9 to 9/10 with Boatec or Glassworks. It will not be perfect and will have gaps most often around the headlights.

My point being if you are super **** about looks, be warned some people won't be happy. If you off road your truck and they are functional pieces and you don't care about a little gap here or there, than go for it.

I had RPG install Glassworks on mine with the liners a couple weeks back and I love em. I know they are for beating on off road though and to allow 37's so I can sacrifice some stock fit and finish for a meaner look and more functionality.

I understand the 8/10 overall look.. I just don't want to have body work done on the fenders before paint for fitment. Your glasswork fenders look really good! I think that will be route I will be going with inner liners..

You may be able to find a better deal, but I paid roughly $1660 for fenders, liners, paint and removal/install. Remember it's no easy install for the average shop. This all needs to be taken apart and put back together. Be wary of someone that is far under that price unless they're a close personal friend etc, and you can vouch for their work.



Just trying to arm you with info so you don't get screwed.
