I want to buy brand new fenders all around and I would like opinions on who makes the best aftermarket fenders out there right now.

thanks,
Joel
p.s. it's going to be for a 1960

Any chance we could start by talking you out of buying brand new fenders?

If not, I am told that the IGP and Zito Pereira rear fenders are the ones to look for.

I would look for used OEM fronts though.

Try getting fenders that were made in either Italy or Mexico. They fit a little better & are made of heavier gauge steel. Brazilian manufactured fenders are the worst. In both fit & finish. Brazilian ones can easily be identified by the poor, very thinly applied Black primer
