I think the whole thing has pretty well been talked to death, they both have decent fitment, boatec maybe a little better, that said any good body shop would massage either to fit appropriately. Boatecs have dimples to guide for mounting points, boatec went through a phase where their fenders were melting in the sun. Glassworks cost less. Boatecs have nicer liners but there are better liners for both out there for a cost. Did I miss anything?

I would throw Fiberwerx on the list now as well.

I don't really know anything about bodywork or fenders, but I've seen fiberwerx in person and was not impressed.

I have seen all three major brands in person and I think that a major factor to consider is who installed them.

I agree with @Rookie to his point about who installed them. A good body guy can spend as much time as necessary to make any of them look good.

I am no body guy for sure and didn't have good luck with one brand in particular (not naming names as I got flamed last time for mentioning it).

I installed Boatec's fenders recently and had great luck with them. Very close to stock fitment. Body shop guy prepped and painted them the same day and had them back to me quick. Just my $.02.......

I agree with what you said, the body shop that installed my glassworks fenders left a gap by the door and head lights. I purchased them from svc and should've just had them pre-fit them, every set I've seen that they put on a truck is practically flawless. I had a body shop here in El Paso do it and wasn't too happy with the outcome.
