    Is this one of the two? He did a custom plastic weld job on his to fix the gap. Looking for a pic of that now.

    Not the best, still looking, but you can see how he evened up the spacing off the cab pillar and made a bracket to support the snorkel.

    Yea, thats not bad but I figure if I know going in what I want, and order the ARB kit ahead of time, take that to the fiberglass folks along with the truck and let them incorporate it to look OEM that would be ideal. Hopefully the cost won't be prohibitive.....

    Fiberwerx said a one off set of fenders would be $1500 hahahah A full trophy truck race body is 3k I guess they don't like to do custom work.

    I kind of wondered... Once they design them, they must be able to make more of the original for cheaper. Maybe kind of like using a jig when fabbing things so less labor is involved.

    eesh, the holes are pretty big, would need some sort of backing, then fill and paint... might be easier to get the non flared fenders for the fronts at least... whole different story for the rears!
