The quality is awsume!

I was looking at a few rides online the other day. They had aftermarket fiberglass fenders, a well known company. The fitment was HORRIBLE! The side marker light bearly held in there... gaps everywhere!

Downright pathetic against Corey's stuff.

Not meaning to answer Corey, but yes, he runs www.toyotafiberglass.com and specializes in fiberglass parts. I've bought some stuff from him in the past and he's a good guy to deal with.

Only a loving toyota owner would put 8grand into a truck that cost around 15 brand new

Just goes to show how much toyota owners wanted parts that didnt rust

not much , as these panels are NOT built for weight savings .. they are built for strength .

It seems like a large amount to spend on bodywork when you can go down to Texas and get a rust free one for half that price. Not that I am suggesting your work isn't worth that much, it's just a lot of money to put into a stock truck.

Good point but take into consideration that if you bring a rust free one into that area it more than likely will not be rust free for long. This way its like a new car that isn't going to rust....ever
