Last year I was zipping along at about 90 and picked up a road gator on the right rear tire. It thrashed around for awhile and tore a small rip in the fiberglass where the glass fender meets the curve going back under the trunk.
I figure that it will cost me about eighty bucks to repair and then the repaint on top of that. I have not done the repair yet as I am waiting for the summer weather before I paint.
Had I picked up the gator in an aluminum bodied car I shudder to think what it would cost to have the torn body hammered out, welded up and refinished.
Not knocking the aluminum body...but very expensive to have a craftsman repair any little problems that we inflict on our cars as we enjoy the ride.
