Just a quick thing I'd like to discuss. I was just wondering if fiberglass is a suitable material for building aeromods onto cars. It seems to me that it's light, strong, and easily doable, albeit messy as all heck. I think I recall Basjoos (I think that's his name, but the guy who build Aerocivic) used a thin sheet metal used on some aircraft. I'm not sure if that would be heavier or lighter than a good thick layer or two of fiberglass or not, but I know at least with fiberglass, it seems to me like it would hold up better than metals for a while in a wet environment. I am also not including Aluminum in that. Aluminum is rather expensive, and I don't think I could afford sheets and sheets of it.

Anyhow! Basically just asking if it's a good material to build with, and if so, why isn't it generally used more, as I seem to see a lot more done with chloroplast.
