I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I searched and couldn't come up with anything...

Are the heat extraction fenders from Cruizin good quality? They're on the site for $299.99, but the idea of them being fiberglass worries me... They look badass, and if they're functional as well as built correctly, I'm thinking about getting a pair.

Here's the link if you don't know what I'm talking about...

And a pic...

in my experience fiberglass usually requires extra work at the body shop before it is perfectly smooth. not that big a deal, just more labor for the body shop and they better know what they're doing or the fender won't be nice and smooth. metal parts are usually stamped and are smoother out of the box because of that.

I think for that price, you can justify having to prep and clean up any corners of the fenders before paint.

I used to work 2.5 yrs in a body shop, started out as a go-getter, and played out my last year plus as head painter. We've done fiberglass hoods before, one that sticks out in my mind was a ram air on a Dakota, but never aftermarket fenders...

The only thing that makes me a little nervous about it, and is the reason for me posting the thread, I don't want to order it, and have problems with the body lines matching up, or headlight gaps being way off, stuff like that. If the gel coat is wavy and needs straightening, that's cool, and as posted above, for that price, I'll gladly pay to get the prep work done up top-notch. I was just hoping for some first hand experience with these particular parts... Has anyone seen steel heat extraction fenders available?

Where in Ohio are you located? I'm right across the river from Wheeling, WV if you know where that is, little town called Shadyside.

I've never seen production steel fenders for our car. I have seen oem fenders modified for other vehicles with a similar look. Cut, bend, add some metal sidewalls, weld, grind, prep, and paint.

I think they would look good with the right hood.

I really like those fenders, but I think it may be a nightmare trying to line them up properly with an aftermarket hood :[

Might be too much trouble then its worth, but I think they look amazing installed correctly
