hey everyone my front right fender is slightly dented in and i wanted to replace it. and i wanted to replace it with a plastic one and i was also going to replace the drivers side wile i was at it ware cani buy them and how much do they cost.
i like the fact that they are plastic so they wont rust when i say plastic i mean fiber glas i think that is what they are made out of.

 

fiberglass, I belive up22.com makes them.

 

also would i be smart by switchng from metal to fiber glass or are there any draw backs at all .

 

Why do you want to switch to fiberglass fenders? The metal fenders don't weigh that much to begin with, the f-glass ones will probably fit like junk and will probably look like junk too unless you/painter wants to take the time to primer/block sand to get them smooth.

 

If you go with the fiberglass, there's some concern with aftermarket fits, but if you live in NY like your profile says, you will definately not have to worry about rust.

If you're doing it for weight savings tho, don't bother, there isn't much difference.

yeah, they may not rust, but the second they get hit, its all over for them.

 

The thing i like about 'glass fenders (and why i may go with them sometime) is that way up here in the frigid, icy north, cars go rusty in no time, but the glass fenders wont rust.

 

they won't rust but at minus 30 celcius... one touch and they break apart.. just my 2 cents

 

So what your saying is that when the quarter panels fall apart and rust through your fenders will be looking good?

 

Steel fenders will outlast the rocker panels and 1/4 panels anyway, so after a few more winters, the fenders will be the LEAST of your concern.
