I was taking the GFX of my 83 Trans Am. (Not really GFX, more or less just fender flares)

At any rate, I broke the piece closest to the rear tires and noticed it was sort of chalky. So... my question. What the hell are GFX made out of?

are they glass, or are they the uerothane crap the the GFX's on the later cars are made of?

well they aint urathane, and im pretty sure they arnt fiberglass. fiberglass doesnt flake off......

i think they are just made out of plastic. possibly even the same stuff that the interior trim is made out of (cause my interior plastics started flaking away too, and its the same)

anyways, im planning on getting having a friend pull a mold off of them and making some fiberglass ones..

If you've got damage too it, it can flake off.

mmm mine sure looks like fiberglass on the rocker panels where I have a bit of a chunk missing.... and my old spoiler was also fiberglass got to see it in pieces.
