Re: Fiberglass fenders?

It's like when they came out with vinyl siding pushing it as better than aluminum. "It won't scratch, dent, or fade like aluminum" is what they'd tell you. "No, it cracks on impact, the wind rips it off the nails, and it does fade and scratch."

You put steel inner fenders in a truck today you will never live to see them rust out... unless you use it as a daily driver in the rustbelt for 15-20 years. If they are fine in there I'd leave them, too. But what GM did needs no improvement.
