DuraFlex fenders & bedsides?

Does anyone have experiance with these, quality & fitment ect... Pics of them installed? I'm looking at options for my 1st gen.

 

Are they actually in production? These are the flexible fenders right? I spoke through emails with the company few years back and they were only doing ranger fenders even though they had advertised tacoma too.... If it's the same co. can't remember the name lol

 

According to Chas of MRT yes! think I'm gonna pick some up soon.

 

U got a link to them or a website name? I saw them a while back and were pretty cool!

Lol guess I could of googled that ha. For some reason I thought s different company was selling them.

 

haha what did we do before the internet...lol

 

Ok those are different then the ones I was talking about. The ones I saw you could actually fold in half and they wouldn't break. U needed to add special shit in the paint so it would flex. They had them for rangers by advertised for tacoma. I'm sure I could do up the email from them, or the site.... But that requires more effort lol

These look cool thought!

 

The ones your talking about must be polyurethane? I wonder why there isn't more urethane fenders & bedsides? I would think there would be a good market for them, being a lot more durable than fiberglass...

 

I have a 91 MR2 and ordered a body kit from duraflex. The fit was terrible and would have been a fortune for a body shop to fix everything. I returned what I bought after a mock up and seeing how bad the lines were. Now these might be different but just giving my experience.

 

Thanks, experience is what im looking for. Now if I could just find someone that has run these on there Tacoma...

 

I know what you're talking about and I just wasted 15 mins trying to find them! I'm pretty sure I saw them on this site too, but I can't seem to find them anywhere

 

It would be cool to have polyurethane fenders but fiberglass is cheaper to do, pu flexes more so you would need more mounting points to hold it in place, also you can repair fiberglass and not pu.

Only way I can think of making it cheap is send it over to China.

 

This is true, but if you actually did something where you needed to repair polyurethane you seriously fucked up and I'm sure the fenders would be the least of your worries haha

 

Sorry for bumping an older thread. Just wanted to post some feedback on these fenders though. Bought them back in August and installed right away. Took a lot of reworking and sanding to get them to fit. Still have some funky gaps on the left corner marker but I'll fill those in the spring.

I think for the money if you can swing it buy Glassworks, Fiberwerx or McNeil or a more reputable brand. I went with these mostly for price and availability. Heard horror stories with other brands customer service and being up in Canada they all wanted $2-300 alone in shipping. These were around $400 CAD all in and I received them in a week, other brands came out to around $7-800 CAD by the time they were shipped and who knows how long it would take to get them so for me it was worth the savings to rework them myself.

 

When I was buying my fenders for my old black truck I found these. I didn't go with them just because I couldn't find anyone who ran them. I got fiberwerx glass. Fitment was horrible. My fenders were 1/4"-1/2" higher than my hood. That was for my body lines to match up. And they were still off. Not by much tho. I got glassworks for this truck. The only thing I can say bad about them is the corner lights are hard to get right. Just my .02.

P.S I have seen your truck in the morning going to work. I'm jealous of your rear end
