I'm looking for some quality replacement front and rear fenders for my 61' bug. My originals need extensive body and/or rust repair work. I'm thinking I may be better off just replacing them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Very Happy

I bought fiberglass fenders from Creative Car Craft and they were perfect right out of the box. Just scuffed them and painted....Awsome!!

Thank you all for the help...........I think I might go the fiberglass route if there not too expensive.

I just replied to another post with a similar question. I gave around $125 ea. for the fenders. Kinda high. But, after you figure in the hours of metal work to get new or OG fenders straight it was well worth it. Plus they come with no holes (bolt holes are marked recessed) so shaving the turn signals was done for me too!!
