Re: Interest for High rise(pre-runner style?) Fenders Fiberglass

Sandking, thanks for the pics of those, I've never seen them before.
It looks like they are maybe bolted on top of some cut out factory fenders, I'm guessing because of the bolt holes you can see in the fenders. Either that or they fabbed a mounting structure underneath.
Also those body lines on the front kind of match, but the profile of the lip does not.
It doesn't have the inner/reverse curve on top of the lip, nor does it have the beauty line towards the bottom of the lip.

I do like the transition from the lip to the grill, I've already thought about doing something like that for anyone running super-swampers etc.

I'm not knocking that fender design, molding composite materials isn't easy.
But I want my parts to be as close to factory as possible, including every little detail.

I definitely agree with you Mordachi. Thats exactly what I'm looking for on my K5. Just have to remember fellas, that Mordachai is doing the hard part of designing and manufacturing the fenders. Once hes done that, bolt some on and lets go out wheelin hard! Why not? its only fiberglass to repair, (most auto parts stores will have what it takes to repair) repair today and repaint tomorrow worst case.... and your still looking good with all that clean GM detail. IM IN !
