Im thinking I should go with the fibergalss. It would be cool to see if I could actually make good looking ones. If I mess it up, oh well just throw them out. I could probably make them look alot cleaner looking then the stock one also.

I have never dealt with fiberglass, so why not try it with this for the first time.

If you can find or get steel ones do that and powder coat them its not cheap but powder coat is like a rock it won't come off or fade.If you paint or dye them its gonna take many coats and one rock chip will make you made.Also its a wheel well its gonna get dirty fast you really want to clean them a lot.

I know they will get dirty fast, but I just loved how they looked on the older cutlasses, so it will be worth it!! :D
