G'day,
I now own my first beetle. It's a solid 1969 and is slightly modified. I will mod it more/differently.
My first purchase will be wide rear fenders.
I see several makes ranging from $150 to over $200 each.
Can I get some opinions about the quality and fit of any of the manufacturers?

Thanks, Karl

i bought some from glassaction back in 2007.. I have no idea what they are called now.. back then they went through about 4 different names.. they'd open, get a high number of complaints, change their name and repeat...

I haven't had any big problems with mine, the holes weren't exactly right, but overall, they weren't terrible...

they are 3 inches wider than stock, I run 15x8 rear wheels...

pic is from 2009, but nothing has changed on the rear of the bug..

I have used these and thought they were well made.
