    It is rubber undercoat..... Spray can stuff doesn't add strength to anything..... Bedliner cracks and flakes over time, fiberglass is pretty sturdy as it is, and it's not hard to repair at all, lot simpler than foam core type composite panels on certain aircraft

    Looks good dude!

    And agreed anything out of a can is not going to strengthen glass. It needs to be manufactured stronger to begin with.

    Yea exactly, glass fenders(at least these) are pretty dang stout as it is, they're probably 3/16" thick in most spots

    That's cool. I always assumed they were like 1/8" or less and all floppy and cheap.

    Let me know how that works. That opening is a huge pain in the ass on 1st and 2nd gens dealing with dirt and water.

    Almost thinking of sucking air out of the firewall under the ac vent.
