    So looking into buying fiberglass fenders for my 96 sr5 durring my rebuild... Wanting advice on different brands and their quality

    Fiberwerx, duraflex, glassworks who has the most durable product less likely to have paint spider from rocks..

    Not exactly what I'm looking for but the initial post was useless I'm really looking for people's first hand exp. with form fit ment and quality of product... Pretty convinced glassworks can get fucked won't be ordering from them

    I know all mine required work too make fit, but they were an old design. Fiberwerx is pretty thin which is my bedsides. On a sec gen glassworks is pretty good. No glass will be as straight as oem. Glassworks does use the most glass so you get a thicker fender. To avoid cracking the gel coat just get creative. Guys line the wheel well section with wrap or rhino liner. They come out great depending on how much time you put into them.

    I just have experience with glassworks and fiberwerx.

    That's what I've heard and I plan on linex my front and rear bumpers anyways so I'd just have the underside shot as well at the same time
