    FWIW Joel is stoked on his FiberwerX but I had read a bunch of stuff on how bad the FiberwerX were and how much better the McNeil were...I don't have either so what do I know :notsure:

    Good stuff, McNeil I've heard good stuff about, glassworks has some bad rep for their customer service, this glass looks perfect IMO.

    Thank you sir! what BBtacosurfer said!
    :cheers: thanks man!

    Correct me if I am wrong but FiberwerX and McNeil glass are actually the same company or they are two brothers or some shit like that.
    I have heard terrible things about all glass companies to be honest, they think they are all high and mighty and really only cater to people who race and have lots of money to throw around. Sad reality

    Thank you man! Welcome:cool:

    Like I said above, I have heard really mixed good/bad reviews of all glass companies and a lot off road companies in general. They all seem to have a very big ego and only want to deal with people building trophy trucks so selling glass to our trucks is something they do on the side to keep the lights on. I have had good experiences with FiberwerX and the guys I met with were down to earth. But I have also heard horror stories from people getting shafted by these companies and having to deal with customer service which is less than professional :eek:
