Fiberglass fenders

[BlaZeus]

anyone have any experience with mounting fiberglass fenders? I found some brand new fiberwerx front fenders for the 07-13 body style and was thinking about mounting those with a radiator support and grille from the same year. Any thoughts? Trimming and the work needed to make it fit is not a huge issue. I just want to know is if they will line up with the door edges close enough that it won't look straight up janky. I already have the front clip/radiator support removed so I have a clean slate to fab up mounts and line things up. Thanks.

fiberworx stuff is nice from what ive been told. Any way you go, there will be lots of custom bracing needed as the fenders will no longer be strong enough to support the core support etc. So you basically need to run tubing to hold everything up.

Thanks for the tips. I appreciate all the help! Yeah I just got done building the engine cage and so ill just weld up some tabs that the glass will mount to. Anyone know where to get some decently priced Dzus (quarter-turn) fasteners???

A&A is great. Local to me, sponsored our CK5 dune party, generally much better prices than most other places.
