gfx questions
I've got a few questions about gfx. First off, I heard that they are made outa like ABS plastic. Does anybody know if this is true, and if not, what are they made of. Next, how hard is to work with them, like cutting and filling in parts. Thanks again.

I think it depends on the year and the part. My rocker panel and quarter panel peices are made of fiberglass, but the front spoiler is urethane.

You guys are both right on the money.
For camaro's, the 82-90 gfx were fiberglass except the front spoiler, due to it needing to be somewhat flexable.
The 91/92 gfx were all made from Urethane.
The firebirds gfx from 85-up were all made from Urethane, and I think IIRC the earlier ones were as well.
As far as cutting and filling, I have never tried it so I don't quite know, but I am sure someone on here has messed with it at some point.
