plastic inner fender wells
« on: January 19, 2009, 05:04:52 pm »
Cap, I'm not trying to step on your toes  ;) just trying to shave costs these days. OK to the point is there any manufacture out there that makes a plastic inner fender well ?  most newer trucks have them i think  ???       thanks

They add structure to these trucks so I don't think anyone manufactures them. There are chrome ones available though.

As Vile stated, they are an integral component to the truck.  No one makes them that I know of.  I have seen a few new ones busted up from rocks though.

We do have the chrome ones though, but they aren't cheap.

even on new trucks most of the inner wheel well is still metal. They just have the plastic more towards the inside or is it the out side ? well one of the other I have worked on so many I don't even pay attention any more.
