    They're ok. Fitment was ok as well...I fitted all of the myself and up close you can tell where certain parts are slightly off or have more of a gap but meh lol
    None come painted unless you get used
    And you need to drill all the holes for the bolts to mount them

    They're both really good companies IMO, it all comes down to what you want exactly. For me I wanted more of a sharp look to the fronts and I got the fiberwerx because they weren't rounded off like the glassworks
    And the bedsides I went with glassworks because they're flat top/almost stock looking and fiberwerxs bedsides are rounded up top...

    bringing this thread back to life..
    I'm trying to install my Glassworks fronts and it's been quite the struggle. nothing seems to line up.. at all. Do any of you fiberglass veterans have any tips on installation? trucks stripped down, no headlights, front fenders or bumper on it right now. I'll post pics once i get em on!

    My glassworks don't line up either. But if it's that important for you to get it lined up, then drop it off at a body shop and have them do it

    Traveller that is a very clean looking truck! What kind of brackets are you using to support your light bar on the roof?

    I've been thinking of going with the fiberglass fenders and bedsides. I don't have a long travel suspension but do have 285/75/16 tires. Would the fenders swollow these up and not look right? I like the look but don't need long travel.

    maybe it'll look funny but if your not offroading you can get wheel spacers to make it look right

    After looking at this and all the other fiberglass threads I want!! I don't have long travel but plan on going with the McNeil 3/3 in the front and Glassworks in the rear. I still have stock tires but that will be changing soon. I planned on going with 285/70r17 before this because I have 3 inch lift but now maybe go one bigger on tires and 1.25 inch spacers to fill that wheel well a little. As far as I'm tracking quality hub centric spacers won't really effect anything and are safe to run. Any thoughts or advise on my plans?? Thanks

    Any of you guys go with 285/75 17s think that would be a good size with 3 inch lift fiberglass and spacers

    Figured I'd post in this forum as I just installed my front Glassworks fenders. Still working on two pieces to blend the bumper with the bumper caps, but here's what it looks like now. It has King 2.5 RR front and rear,Total Chaos UCA's, and Icon AAL. I want the stance wider so I'm thinking about wheel spacers.

    I went with Fiberwerx because they shipped the same day I ordered, fitment on one side was perfect, passenger was close but needed trimming near the door and below the headlight bowed out(you can see in picture) and I havent had time(or determination) to fix the headlight part because its not to far off.

    What did all you fiberglass guys do with your antenna? I just zip tied that metal pole thing up out of the way. Hopefully thats not an issue?

    Does this look like it will cause an issue. Im not looking to burn down my truck or anything. Im not to familiar with antennas.
