There are some good and bad points to fiberglass though. I have never seen a fiberglass part that doesnt require some body work. (pin holes when molded, mold marks that need to be sanded or filled, trimming to fit,and drilling your own mounting holes, fabricating headlight or taillight mounting brackets,etc). The good stuff is of course they never rust, they are easily repaired if damaged and they are light weight. My fenders were purchased from Inovations and were a lot better than some of the used fenders I looked at that had to have rust repair done and dings and dents knocked out. I dont think Inovations has rear fenders for a SB but they do have the front ones at $199 plus about $21 shipping. Dana Hall 65 Notch Sunroof 77 Beetle
