The other viewpoint is one I was just introduced to recently by the guy in charge of the body shop I use. He did my metal rear fender widening that I insisted on because I didn’t want fiberglass. We were talking about my options for going wider, and he actually prefers fiberglass. The reason is that it is VERY easy to repair. For my car which gets banged up on track more often than I’d really like it to, having to constantly fix little things with the metal is much more difficult than doing so on fiber would be. That’s why I’m looking at fiber now rather than doing a metal widebody. I don’t care about keeping it all close to original anymore, I just need width for functionality. Fiber is cheap and easy to work on. Good combo for some of us.
haha yes the fiberglass is way easier to fix. Everyhing can break/crack. Also its alot cheaper to repair. All fiberglass isnt created equal. Some kits are more cheaply made. Its a little lighter but not by much. This kit is a great value. Its has the bs look and alot better than droping almost 30k for oem. There are alot of fiberglass cars out there but you would never be able to tell. So the people that are concern about my fiber glass kit i would be gladly to start a gofundme page so you guys could help a brother out to get the oem 😂
nittos just came in they look crazy. The fittment is spot on but you to have to trim the inner fender. It barely rubs. Once thats cut its good to go. Who ever tells you you cant run a 345mm tire. Heres your proof and look at the fitment. 19x12 et25
Sorry i haven't posted to this thread in a while. I was waiting for oem black series parts from Mercedes. I decided to go with genuine panels. The fiberglass definitely has the look of the black series but there is so much work to make them look good and fit correctly and With the oem panels its pretty much bolt on other than the rear quarter panels. Here are some pictures of the rear quarter panel test fitted.
If OP bought the SR66 fiberglass kit I mentioned, he would have had perfect fitment at fraction of price. I know people who have installed those kits in their GARAGE and they look amazing. ~$4k for whole kit on eBay.
Duraflex just doesn't have the best quality fiberglass, but that doesn't mean fiberglass is bad overall.

What kind of hardware did you use to attach the rear Fender on the right side and the rocket panel
