Fenders are reinforced reaction injection molded (RRIM) urethane.

Scared the crap out of me this past weekend when I leaned on it a little too hard while changing the plugs !

...and to think people criticize the 4th-gens like they were pieces of junk. Also, the galvanized body panels are nice ... no rust! I've got a couple deep stone chips in my hood that have been there for almost ~3 years, and the bare exposed metal is still pretty much silver! (too bad it's on the black part of the hood and not somewhere amongst the silver stripes ).
