Some auto parts are installed to perform more than one function. This is true for a vehicle’s body. The body does more than project an image of luxury and style. It also acts as protection and foundation for various auto parts. GMC is aware of this and in turn, produces vehicles with a complete and efficient body having superior exterior features. One component of the body that contributes to its multiple functions is the fender. In GMC vehicles, the GMC fender is a part that not only completes the body’s overall design but also ensures the capability of motorists to improve both the appearance and performance of their cars.

From the outside fenders make a great impact on the look and style of the vehicle. Together with the body, fenders help define the appearance of the car. This is one reason why rear fenders are integrated onto the car’s main body in newer vehicles. Fenders are located at the side portions of a vehicle. They are part of a metal assembly on either side of the vehicle over and around the front and rear wheels. The fender on the front contours from the front doors and runs forward to the bumper and upward to the hood. Meanwhile, a rear fender runs from the rear bumper up to the trunk lid.

Fenders are also intended to house the wheels and tires of a vehicle. They protect other components of the body from rust and sludge formation. Fenders do this by catching the mud and road debris spewed out by a wheel. The fender also contributes in the performance of the vehicle by having extra space in the wheel housing in case motorists may want to get bigger tires and wheels. The GMC fender, for example, gives a spacious housing for GMC parts upgrade, whether for customization or increased performance.
