Nice... just the bedsides, or the fronts as well?

We did front fenders and then the bedsides. Tubular front and rear bumpers are in the works.

How did the Fiberwerx fit and line up? I have heard ALOT of mixed reviews on them... My buddy had a first generation set for his '99 Silverado and body lines and fitment were HORRIBLE.

it wasn't too bad... front fenders were better than the bedsides... bedsides lineup pretty bad with the taillights. I expected a better fit... but I don't know what the "standard" is for fitment of glass..

Some companies are better than others. It is hard with Dodge, not all the glass companies make large enough flair/rise for long travel kits.

Fiberwerx, Mcneil have their stuff made in Mexico, so it is a hit and miss from what I have heard from a lot of people.

Glasswork Unlimited is probably some of the best "bolt on" stuff, but ACTUALLY getting it is a whole different story.

My truck has a Trailer Products race glass, it is thinner than say Fiberwerx, and mine needed all custom mounting but it actually lines up pretty well. My buddy that had the Fiberwerx front fenders switched to Trailer Products (they do have a few bolt on) and it was a day and night difference.

There was a lot of custom brackets needed for the bedsides, but the fenders basically bolted on. Honestly for the price you pay for glass it seems that they should be perfect fit...

I have that same headunit. Sounds great and has tons of features with the Alpine app.
