Default fiberglass info reply

I looked at some of sled city's parts at the Mopar Nats last year. His bumpers looked pretty good. I am thinking about picking some up if he is there this year.

I have a set of fenders from Fiberglass plus on my 65 Coronet.
They did not fit to well. I had about 1/4" gap between the door and the passengers fender that I had to build up. The driver's side had the wrong curve to match the curve of the door and I had to seperate the support on the back side, bend the fender to match the door and re-mold a new support on the back.

I have seen worse from other suppliers.

I haven't seen any of W-S parts but i have heard good things about them.
(but i had also heard good things about Fiberglass Plus).

I think it is always a crap shoot unless you can see the parts before you buy.

Direct replacement part bolts right to factory mounts. Does this ring a bell with anyone? LOL

Hey thanks for the reply, I Guess its like eveything else, nothing seems to be as good as it used to be. I was just talking to fiberglass plus today about a hood & trunk for my 65 coronet, now i'm not sure. I wanted to buy a aluminum scoop for my hood but only found one person who builds them, he wants $1495. plus shipping that makes fiberglass sound pretty good. I guess you pay's your money and takes your chances, Ha! Thanks again everyone.
