What fiberglass company makes best fenders (Bug)
I have to figure out what fiberglass fenders I am going to run...
http://vwinnovations.com/bug.html
or
http://www.markvfiberglass.com/
or

I need some wider fenders, I think 2 inch wider will work.
I want to put older style fenders on my 1970

I've used several sets of CCC fenders, have always been completely satisfied with their quality and fit...so much so that I've never tried the others.

Yeah, but since you live in California the shipping from Kentucky will be more than from the other outfits, so maybe you should wait and see what people have to say about them.
Tip: for big bulky items like car fenders, the least expensive way to ship is usually by bus...if you've got a cohort at the point of origin who can take them to the terminal for you.

Good to know the $ isn't really a concern but I do love to save it! I would rather pay more then have to live with an ill fitting or crappy part. I don't know anyone around the Kentucky area though.Marc wrote:Yeah, but since you live in California the shipping from Kentucky will be more than from the other outfits, so maybe you should wait and see what people have to say about them.

I'll wait to hear some more feed back.

CCC is the best, VWINNOVATIONS SUCKS!
He sent me a pair of speaker panels that were completely FLAT and wouldn't
replace them! And that was after waiting 2 months for him to *do another run* of them.

Re: What fiberglass company makes best fenders (Bug)
aaww yeah made this order
4 fenders and a whale tail (turbo bolt on tail)
39 ford frenched tail lights.. going with LED clear lense with turnsignal built in.
I am going to build my own custom back up lights out of 200 lumen LED bulbs.
Now I have to figure out how to work in a bumper.

Re: What fiberglass company makes best fenders (Bug)
I got the fenders and Turbo tail in today.
Wow! is what I got to say about them. The quality is superb.
here are some large resolution images of what my car will sort of look like
http://picasaweb.google.com/10783001179 ... _Reference
Except my car is white, I plan to paint highlights blue, ie the part of the tail that is black on the Porsche picture, and a formula vee style stripe on the side, but keep the rest white.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
maybe paint my roll cage blue, havent decided yet.
I got the frenched in tail lights, they are clear lensed with dual led, ie blinker and brake in one. the blinker flashes yellow brake red.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
