Default Flared Fenders
Those are Extreme Dimension Fenders..

Not into them..

I bought from them before... Their products always have some problem... Cracked... Chipped... Warped..

Basically you have to find a body man to repair them.. You end up paying more money to fix them..

I will never buy from Extreme Dimension again..

I rather pay more..

You are dam right... If you design something.. Do it right.. Your happy customers will blast it all over the Web...

Build something that constantly has problems and the internet can be your worst enemy.. people will bad mouth your product...

Like I said, I will never buy Extreme Dimension products.. My Choice..
My Opinion...

My stuff came cracked, chipped and warped...

I think I am going with the L5 ..

Thanks everyone! urdabest!
