Re: T3 late fenders from VWcalimports

Cool- and a very decent price,
  But-  fiberglass is NOT always a great option.  For those whose metal
fenders have either rotted off, or met the Eldorodo and lost, go nuts-
it's a good way to put on decent fenders.  If you just have a bit of
damage, or some localized rust, it'll be easier and cheaper to fix the
metal fenders.  
  Any resto bodyshop will tell you that fiberglass is not a 'bolt-on'
fix.  Despite the most loving care by the 'glass artists, they never
exactly fit, so it takes anywhere from a few hours to a few DAYS to get
them to look right.  I tried, once, on a Mustang, and will only do so
again when there are NO metal fenders to be had.  
  But, if you need fenders it is a corrosion- free way to go
That's my two cents,
