Glassworks vs boatec front fenders

[Dan06]

Any particular Reason? I have glassworks in hand, but was going to take em back for Boatecs, then I flip flopped again and may just throw on the Glass works, I cant make up my mind. The Boatec Liners are much nicer. Uggg Decisions decisions.

I have had mine for over a year, received multiple compliments, held up to some serious abuse, paid less than Boatecs (especially when you include liners), and still very satisfied with my purchase.

I do like the what I see fixing to come out by RC Prototypes, but they weren't available when I bought my glass (still not available actually). However, those products are fashioned completely different than Glassworks or Boatecs. When it comes down to it why pay more for practically the same product? No one will notice the difference until a up close detailed analysis.

Thank you, I think I will just stick with the Glass Works, I have the liners in hand as well as they are well not the best looking at least compared to Boatecs, how do they look installed? Do you know if you are able to LineX the Glasswork Liners?

Also you running top or mid perch? Currently I am on top (2013) and would like to go to mid, i assume with these and pounding the pinch welds I should be okay.. I am a moderate off roader, not jumping it ect..

I'm on mid myself. Also, my liners have been coated. I doubt many ppl will have their heads inside your wheel wells to inspect the brand of liners, just my 2 cent on that. For anyone wanting to empty their wallet for show quality liners, Outlaw has some very pretty ones (puts Boatics to shame). Too bad my conscious won't let me spend a arm and leg on something meant to stop rocks and mud.

Mine are 1st gen. fenders (proof I've had em awhile), so have a thinner lip. I used threaded inserts several places then used screws. I didn't want to attach them to the fender itself, because I stuff the tires on hard landings. No issues yet though. However, if anything was destroyed I'd rather it be the inner fender. They're a disposable link in my mind, almost like a mudflap (Been reading ppl breaking them lately, mudflaps, but I foresaw that.)









Believe Raptizzle took the same approach.

Here's a shot of my glassworks liners. They aren't as fitted as boatecs but they do the job and look 1000% better than having no liners at all.

Thanks guys for the help. I am just going to stick with Glassworks and there liners. I will try and get them LineX prior to taking it to RPG for install. Dan I never really thought of the liners that way (having a cheaper one that you will end up rubbing on anyways) it really makes sense to me now to think that going with the cheaper glass works liners is actually better, like you said a cheap mod to re-install if need be. Now its just a waiting game on when RPG can get me in the shop =)

Nice first post there....

I just purchased a set of Glassworks through SVC. Barely any wait time, no ********, and once again a fair price! I will be picking up the truck today and posting my full review of my small build with pics soon. SVC has been GREAT to work with. I highly recommend going through them to get parts for your Raptor as they are able to source "stuff" WAY more quickly and efficiently than us members and some other vendors.
