Fiberglass or metal?
I recently dented my driver side fender. I need to find a replacement, because fixing it would cost a lot more. I can get a fiberglass one for cheap, but is it better that getting a metal one like the original stock fenders? What should I do?

personally I would go with a metal one.. I don't know if the glass one would be better or not.. though if it was a SMC fender.. that would be cool.. but between standard glass & metal.. I would thinkthe metal one would be better..

I've never seen just one fiberglass fender for f-bodies, if you want fiberglass you're probably going to have to get a whole front clip. The cheapest fiber front clip I've seen was $675 I think. Go here: http://www.hairyglass.com/camaro.html
A fender from the pick-a-part would be cheaper, but then your car wont be on a diet.
