In a recent issue of Offroad Magazine there is an Orange '83 Blazer that has a set of fiberglass fenders on it. Nowhere in the article do they say where they got them... any ideas?

if they are "stock replacement" looking, which is what that red one looks like, then the only company i've ever seen offer em was Unlimited....

I strongly, strongly considered running these.... but I eventually heard enough rumors about quality, fit and some other issues with Unlimited to dissuade me back to steel... and that coming from a guy who works with glass for a living.. that was the introweb rumor-mill tho, they might not be that bad..
 
Those aren't a stock replacement fender. If you look close the opening is raised and there is a little bulge...
 
I thought to myself "gee, fiberglass fenders would be cool, never have to worry about rust again" but then I remembered that I would destroy them against a tree and would end up with a bunch of fiberglass fragments in my hands somehow.

I do like how those look on that red blazer though, the slight flare looks sweet.
 
Those Hannemann fenders look like the stuff...:D
I knew it wouldn't take long
