Your run into the following situations with fiberglass fenders:
a) fit will not be as nice(requiring addition resin and matting work)
b) holes will require some modifications to line up
c) panels will have waves requiring additional blocking and sanding
d) panel may develop stress cracks easier then metal
BESIDES WORKING WITH FIBERGLASS IS AN ITCHY SITUATION
