    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with roadrunner fiberglass fenders? If so, how was the fitment? Been thinking about getting rid of my snorkel and getting glass fenders.

    As long as you expect that fiberglass generally doesn't fit perfect, I had a good experience with roadrunner. Mine fit great and I barely did any trimming, they were ready on time (in 2 weeks), and the price was great.

    I had fiberworks bedsides that fit like ass and replaced them with the roadrunners, no complaints. You'll find stories about every fiberglass brand from people who had a bad experience, seems to be the way it is with fiberglass. But my experience with roadrunner was great.

    What did you have to trim? Was it pre drilled?

    Check my build thread, in the link in my signature. I don't remember, bedsides are different because you have to make supports so you end up drilling yourself. Any fiberglass you get, regardless of brand, will require trimming. A dremmel works great and its not too difficult, that was my first time. Thats just the nature of the game with them.

    I personally would avoid fiberglass unless you really need it, if you're not long travel and can clearance the tires at full flex with the stock fenders I would keep them.

    I just made a order through RR Fiberglass like 2 weeks ago, just talked to them and they said they were ready to ship it to me Today (Friday) if they don't get it out today then forsure Monday. So I guess I'll have to wait and see how they fit then I'll get back to you on my experience with them.
