Why would anyone want to pay up to $1,200 on 4 fenders, made out of a material that will fold up into a pretzel, while tearing apart the body where it’s bolted on? When the plastic originally mounted, will either bounce back in a light hit that would deform aluminum, or just pop off with no damage done?

Because we’re not on the Mustang forums, that’s why. Why would anyone jump on the inter webs just to bash someone else’s choice because it’s not theirs?

I dont see where you got that price? So we dont want alimun cause they will bend? but if we go Steel that wont bend either? Like compared to these? I get what are you saying with aluminum and plastic....etc. but like its going to be one of those depends how much force is done - The Aluminum is still going to be better than plastic if I get in a vehicle accident - and if I go STEEL like the ones Im linked, what are the side fenders made out of I dont think the entire front end of Jeep is made of Steel....etc. so the side fenders are going to warp and bend too....

Don’t mind what anyone says. If you like those fenders, run those fenders. It’s your Jeep. Metal vs plastic fenders has been a bruha for years on Jeep forums.

Questioning why is not bashing!! Telling someone they have made a dumb purchase is bashing, that I would never do.

That guy is too sensitive. Everyone should have been on Pirate and Jeeps Unlimited 20 yrs ago if they wanted to see some real flaming.

Those are great and strong and mount to the inner structural components. However, unfortunately only the fronts would work on a Gladiator. They need to release the gladiator set so the rears would work.

I dont think your post was bashing, but it also didn't come off like a genuine question and instead come off like you were saying anyone thinking that is an idiot, "and this is why".

I only say this because I come off that way a lot as well. I don't have intentions of sounding mean or rude, but I ultimately do.

A lot of the steel Vs plastic comes down to how and where you wheel. I’m slow and deliberate so steel works for me. If I’m going to hit a fender it’s going to be a scrape not an impact. Full send it guys are probably better suited to plastic. I’ve had both. I like both. I wasn’t sure on those fender marker lights at first but they’re growing on me I think. Way better than my lil dots that I have now. :CWL:
