Fiberglass car owners can also choose to have a chrome/polished aluminum wrap if that's the look they are after. Some of them can turn out very well depending on the installer. Also, no dents (:

1. True.
2. Just as difficult as maintaining a painted car. Clean and polish.
3. Replicas are not originals. So, if you think paint is going to fool anyone, more so than bare aluminum, then I have a bridge to sell you.
4. You have this one backwards, very few replicas, er, just Kirkhams, are bare aluminum. If you want to blend into the "crowd," with the tens of thousands of ERA's, SPF's, FFR's, etc. then get it painted.
5. What happened to #5?
6. I express (and impress) myself with bare aluminum.
Aluminum (metal) dents, but fiberglass, expands, cracks and, if hit, breaks into straw.
