Fiberglass or Aluminium body

[madmaxx]

I thought aluminium was a challenge to keep from oxidizing? Cant get wet, have to be cleaned with windex etc? If I got aluminium and the aforementioned is true it would have to be painted.

Please remeber the people on this forum are fanatics, you pull up a brushed aluminium cobra, the participants on this forum would kill for it, but the other 99.5% of the population will think a painted cobra be it fiberglass or aluminium is much much nicer.

No challenge at all to keep it from oxidizing, but then my car is only a couple years old, garaged and covered. I've literally almost done nothing and it still looks great. I don't have the brushed finish though, I have the polished finish.

99.99% of the population has never seen a fully polished aluminum Cobra and the crowds at the few small shows (and weekend coffee runs) that I've attended reflect that.

I don't know what the percentage is when it comes to the population preferring a "bare naked lady" (BNL) versus a painted car, but I'd sure like to take that bet at 99.5% preferring paint.
