Yep, but your car will be ready for the scrap yard long before the Kydex wears out...

A lot of the plastic I see here looks very flimsy and brittle - only slightly better than cardboard.

I can see using Coro for making templates/testing, but if you want to make it permanent and/or market your idea, I think Kydex would be the way to go!
