Fender question

What are the pros and cons of fiberglass fenders other than the obvious fiberglass wont rust angle? I think Im gonna repalce both front fenders on my 65 but Im not sure whether to go steel or glass.

Re: Fender question

Most of the fiberglass body panels are used for drag racing and don't fit real well. Also they do not hold their shape. Meaning they sag and become distorted with time.
