What is the fit like on modern fiberglass fenders? I know years ago it was not so good and they were wavey as the ocean to start with. Someone offered me a set at a good price and I am not doing a "resteration" so I am concidering it. I have not been to look at them yet.

i never understood the appeal of glass fenders. the stock sheet metal fenders only weigh like 15lbs. a glass fender cant be any less than say 7-8 lbs. they are alot of work to shave 10lbs total on a car. you would save more weight and spend less money going to an aluminum radiator or intake manifold. not knocking anyone that is out to cut weight just my .02

i agree... i would rather cut weight somewhere else than in the fenders. for me, the time and hassle of getting them fitted and repainted would be better spent somewhere else on my cars.....

If they are AAR or Glasstech what I have seen/used from them have been good.

To add: If they are race weight glass fenders than you can bet they will need a ton of work to make them fit and look reasonably straight.
