Fiberglass fenders?

I was wondering where was the best place to order some fiberglass fenders for my 85' Pickup? my driver side fender is getting in pretty rough shape (rust is getting to it) and I'd like some fiberglass replacements that won't rust out on me (my stepside fenders are fiberglass already)

I've been reading 4RnrRick's Project Quasimodo thread on pirate4x4 and have come up with these two places.

http://www.glassworksunlimited.com

http://www.toyotafiberglass.com

So far I'm leaning towards Toyota Fiberglass since I'd prefere to buy Canadian and I'm not even sure if glassworks will even ship here.

I'm open to any other places thought if anyone can think of somewheres. I've got a while to think about it because body work is the last thing on my mind right now so it probably won't be till the summer when I order them.

Anybody here have any experience with these? I'd love some input.

Though I have not bought a set of fenders from Corey at Toyotafiberglass.com , I have bought some other stuff from him and he has been nothing but helpful and with great customer service. You can PM if you like, he is a yotatech member, aka: Slacker.. Somewhere on their website is a video of them bashing their 4Runner quarter panels with a sledge...pretty impressive..

I'm pretty sure I'm I'm gonna order them next week. Probably the 3" flare ones for when I get bigger tires in the future. If I calculated it correctly it should come to $520 with shipping and %5 GST.

What are the NAFTA papers? I asume they have to do with the North America Free Trade Agreement but Since i'm in canada do I have to worry about it?

yes , you are correct "Free trade" . most USA manufactures shipping to Canada though .. say "screw it" .. and dont fill them out .. so you pay extra . if your ordering ours , you dont have to worry about it .. and for our "potential" USA customers .. YES we do fill out the papers , so NO "extra" charges .

I have a 1988 4runner, and my rear quarter panels are in rough shape, so I want to buy some fiberglass ones. From your experience what is the average cost of installation and paint for both of the rear quarter panels, assuming I go to a shop and ask them to cut out the old rusted metal and put in the new fiberglass.

Thanks
