Default Fake Bushwackers?

I saw this on EBay and it caught my attention. Does anybody know anything about these? The pictures and price look good, but I'm iffy to test them out for myself. Any input would be nice.

I'm sure that they cant fit that badly. If your cutting and folding anyways, fabbing these to fit properly cant be to tough. Plus if you wreck em on the trail your not out 400.

They look good, but I don't know how fiberglass would hold up on the trail.

I saw these a few weeks ago on ebay. They have to fake for that price and what about mounting hardware.

I looked at the guys feedback, all feedback was positive on these fenders. Therefor, they must be real. As for fiberglass holding up, I'm sure it would. My concern is also the hardware, in the picture there are no holes in the gaps. IDK how they mount. Also, IDK if it has to be cut out for these to fit.

here is them showing strength of their fiberglass flares...
I'd say they are pretty strong.
Also figured out they are based in Utah.
I think the quality is high, but the fact that they wouldn't give you mounting hardware, paint it, nor be very popular makes me think this isn't such a great deal.

I'm not saying your wrong but from what i know, iceland offroad is located in utah. but these are being shipped from Poland according to the eBay account. hence the shipping being ridiculous
