Fiberglass?

Hey guys I'm looking at some fiberglass rear fenders that are 2.5" wider from Superior glass works for my 51. What are the pro's and con's of fiberglass?

Re: Fiberglass?

My rears are all torn up. I am going to put as much as a tub as I can with out cutting the frame up. Just wanted to hear from someone that has used glass fenders before.
